The past always informs the future, especially in the footwear world. For Nike, their deep archives have played a crucial role in the design language of modern-day silhouettes, some directly fusing elements from previously released models. This is true for the Air Max Waffle, a fusion of the ‘90s Air Max Plus and the ‘70s Waffle Racer. Alongside a new Ceramic colorway, the model is getting an Electrolime makeover.
Like its Ceramic counterpart, this Electrolime colorway of the Air Max Waffle features updated construction as the base swaps out the canvas for a semi-transparent mesh. This layer is done in a lime green finish, contrasting the deeper green hue used on the fuzzy suede mudguard, vamp, eyestay, and heel overlay. Channeling the BRS Powerwall Air Max 1, the Swoosh and heel tab come in a crimson hue that loudly stands out amongst the green hues of the upper.
