Yes, we are old enough to remember our beloved 1977 Nike Waffe Racer shoes. Man, did we love those. Now, Nike has brought them back in a glorious Battle Blue, University Blue and Amarillo colorway that’s sure to get the attention these lifestyle/track shoes deserve. The simple silhouette remains, and it’s properly minimalist with suede and nylon uppers with the classic Swoosh log and big “NIKE” heel logo. The bright white tongue and laces top off the shoe’s bright look, but the legendary black Waffle sole is the best part of the shoe, having survived over a quarter-century of grippy use. You’ve just found your iconic sneakers just in time for fall. Sprinting not required.
