Swapping rubber for batter on an old waffle iron, Nike founder Bill Bowerman created the Waffle outsole. It not only delivers traction, durability and heritage style—it proves greatness is in the everyday. Suede and durable textile combine for a design that’s lightweight and durable. Exposed foam on the tongue gives a DIY aesthetic combined with a soft feel. Soft foam underfoot gives you lightweight cushioning. Lining around the collar brings a smooth feel that's extra durable.
