In 1971, Nike co-founder Bill Lauber watched his wife Barbra prepare breakfast with a waffle iron and was inspired by it. He replaced the dough with rubber and the waffle outsole profile was born. Not only does it impress with traction, durability and traditional Nike style - it's also ideal for everyday wear. And if you're wondering now, what happened to the waffle iron? The old, rusty waffle iron can now be found on a pedestal at Nike World Headquarters. The Nike Waffle One gives the waffle sneaker family a new look with fresh innovations that give you everything you love from traditional Nike running styles. The new TPU heel clip adds energy and the combination of transparent mesh (with a view of your socks) and retro suede provides texture and depth. The updated outsole with waffle tread ensures support and reliable traction. Here comes the Nike WMNS Waffle One SE »Leopard« in a black textile upper with leopard-look Swoosh brandings.
