Nike introduces a look at the new Air Waffle Racer SP sneaker model, which is the latest take on the iconic running shoe: the Waffle Trainer. The brand highlights the base foundation of the shoe which has the iconic Air cushioning for a lifestyle touch. The upcoming shoe comes in a slew of colorway palettes -- all of which are chosen to honor its origins.
Some of the tones include bright green and purple to make a bold statement. The sides of the shoe are detailed with the Swoosh branding detail in another bright hue. Nike noted in a statement that the upcoming shoe "[creates] a new look that celebrates both the early days of the Swoosh and the start of Tuned Air."
