Nike Waffle Racer 17 MICA BLUE/BINARY Bill Bowerman, a co-founder of NIKE and also a coach and developer, was trying to develop a sole that would grip the ground firmly other than spikes. One day, he came up with the idea of a waffle sole, inspired by the waffles he was eating for breakfast. This sole was adopted in many running shoes at the time, and it became the catalyst that propelled NIKE to its current position. The "WAFFLE RACER," a representative model of NIKE, was introduced in 1977, adopting the waffle sole. This model is based on the 2017 last (mold), and the comfort has been updated for a more modern feel, with a memory foam sockliner and a midsole that combines two different densities of foam. The WAFFLE RACER design is especially popular among long-time fans and vintage sneaker fans of NIKE. The WAFFLE RACER, born from the Oregon Waffle, first appeared in 1977. As the name suggests, the outsole, the part of the shoe sole that touches the ground, has a waffle-like bumpy texture. This outsole enhances the driving force to the ground. With its retro design and lightness, it is a popular item as a classic running shoe.
