Jovani Hernandez While yet to be officially unveiled, the Nike Waffle Trainer II has begun to unfold in its inaugural roster. Soon joining a navy and red option is a vibrant “Starfish/Black/Summit White” pair.
Akin to its decades-old predecessor, the forthcoming model indulges in a suede and nylon build, the former material adding durability along the forefoot, tongue and heel. Profile swooshes and upper panels on the rear partake in the same design that’s appeared on runners like the Challenger, which has enjoyed a retro run over the last year. Exposed foam tongues also harken back to the Swoosh’s earliest performance-running breakthroughs, but they’re overshadowed by the waffle-patterned tread underfoot.
An official Nike.com release date is unknown, but this Waffle Trainer II is set to launch soon. In the meantime, enjoy product shots of the shoes ahead.
Elsewhere under the Swoosh umbrella, the Air Tuned Max is set to celebrate its 20th anniversary throughout 2021.
