Matt Varga Updated February 27th, 2025: The Nike Air Max Waffle “Hyper Blue” is now expected to release on March 12th.
For better or worse, it feels like the “love it or hate it shoe” genre continues to pick up steam. Nike’s strongest entrant in that arena in 2024 was the Nike Air Max Waffle, an archival mashup concept that you likely regard as a perfect blend between dueling ends of Beaverton’s catalog or an awkward in-between amalgamation. If you’re in the latter camp, perhaps the right colorway can swing you in the opposite direction. Another chance for that emerges via the shoe’s first look in the new year, the Nike Air Max Waffle “Hyper Blue.”
This checks off only the fifth Air Max Waffle Racer to date, meaning each successive look carries plenty of weight in projecting forward how the silhouette will continue to grow. To this point, The model has pulled from already-established looks for either one of its parent models (the Air Max Plus or Waffle Racer proper). Here, the blend of “Hyper Blue/Metallic Gold/Black” embraces a colorway both have already taken to, executing the always-reliable combo of blue and gold, anchored by a suede mudguard and heel and jet black waffle tread underfoot.
The Nike Air Max Waffle “Hyper Blue” releases on March 20th, retailing for $140. Catch detailed retailer images included below and keep an eye on our Sneaker Release Dates page for further updates on this launch.
