Nike is nothing without sport. Years ago, the brand made history as Bill Bowerman offered the now iconic Waffle sole for the first time. Runners, both professional and amateur, took a strong liking to the technology and it’s since endured many decades later. While not quite the same as its predecessors past, the Waffle One “Rawdacious” shines a spotlight on said history, vocalizing one key theme: “Sport Unites All.”
As it dresses the back heel, the aforementioned text proffers a collegiate look, its font similar in style to that of the Ivy League. Below, complements echo similar meaning, touting “COLLECTIVE VISION OF A BETTER WORLD” in an identical finish. Above, “The Great Unity” stamps into the bright green heel whose suedes are partially covered by a brown-glazed heel clip. Pinks of both light and dark intensity, then, dress adjacent, tinting the see-through mesh base, leather Swoosh, and the eyestay/toe. Moreover, cream laces and tongues add an equally sweet pairing to the rest of the palette.
