[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-waffle) introduces two new tonal options of the Daybreak Type N. 354 sneaker model for the warmer seasons. The two colorways include a blend of black and Summit White for a more [monochromatic minimal option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-brown) or Laser Orange and Summit White for a stark bolder option.

The upper is made from a mesh material to deliver breathable elements and further accented with dramatic stitching throughout the paneling accents informed by soft suede. Notably, the first of the two colorways features hints of 'Menta' at the heel and the Swoosh branding details. The bright colorway showcases the vibrancy at the upper with some hints of gray to ground the model. Both shoes are rounded out by a EVA foam midsole in white and black [waffle outsole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-max-waffle).
