The Nike Waffle Racer derives its name from its innovative rubber tread and was first introduced to the running track in 1974, boasting a modest upper made of nylon and suede. With the introduction of the Waffle Racer 17 Textile, this iconic running shoe undergoes a modern transformation with the utilization of a lightweight nylon material, resulting in an all-black aesthetic. The monochromatic design of the upper is beautifully complemented by a striking white sole, creating a visually appealing contrast.
