Sneaker News Vast leaps and great bounds have been made in footwear technology since Nike debuted their waffle soles in the early 1970s, but even though they’re at the forefront of ultra-futuristic design — and constantly pushing the envelope of what’s “possible” — the Swoosh Brand never forgets their past, so they’ve added a piece of original waffle spirit to the Air Max 720. Featuring a grey, blue, and silver color palette, the shoe’s sleek upper keeps its normal one-piece construction but trades out its standard synthetic material for a classic mesh base. The tongue goes old-school too with exposed foam edges and a retro gradient logo print to match the similarly-styled heel tabs. Although its signature bulbous cushioning unit and outsole are left intact, the waffle sole is present in spirit, thanks to a cleverly-placed print on the insole. This compelling mix of old and new will hit Nike.com soon for $180 USD, so take a close-up look below and stay tuned to our Sneaker Release Dates page for further information as it’s available.
