Nike Waffle Trainer 2 - K2 Basecamp Himalayas — US 10.5 Red & Gold — BRAND NEW

RARE, BRAND NEW IN ORIGINAL BOX 100% AUTHENTIC Pls ask any questions if in any doubt - thanks. The Nike Waffle Trainer 2 K2 “Gym Red / Metallic Gold” pays tribute to the first American team to ever summit K2, the second-highest mountain on the planet. Mountaineers Jim Wickwire, John Roskelley, Rick Ridgeway, Jim Whittaker, and Lou Reichardt achieved that feat in September 1978, as seen on the sneaker’s sockliner. If you’re still confused with the connection, Ridgeway and Roskelley were seen wearing the Nike LDV as they ascended on treacherous slopes. This discovery led to Nike launching the Hiking label, which then became Nike ACG. Gym Red makes up most of the mesh and suede upper combo. While a golden Swoosh and heel tab add to the luxurious details. The “NIKE” label on the heel is overlapped with a K2 to complete the homage. A mountain symbol underneath the Nike logo on the plush tongue can also be seen.
