The Nike Waffle Trainer 2 is a modern iteration of a classic Nike trainer, reinterpreted with contemporary materials and design while maintaining its retro aesthetic. The shoes feature a predominantly black and white color scheme with black on the upper and outsole, and white on the Swoosh, laces, collar lining, and midsole. The upper is made from a mix of mesh and suede for style and breathability. It retains vintage branding elements like the vintage Nike logo on the tongue and heel tab, and the iconic Swoosh on both side panels. A standout feature is the waffle pattern outsole, providing reliable traction and a vintage look reminiscent of early Nike days. The shoes were first released in June 2022.
