Forming his first sneaker sole out of a waffle maker with a batter comprised of liquid urethane, Nike founder Bill Bowerman, would eventually lead a revolutionary movement in sportswear with the creation of his Waffle Trainer platform in 1974. Paying homage to the historic occasion, Nike Sportswear gets set to release a playful commemorative set of “waffle” windrunners. The jackets come in two colorways with an obvious waffle silhouette along the uppers and Nike badging in the form of butter, all packaged in a special box set.

    Oh Now people are saying Nike is ripping off BBC/Ice Cream or whatever when their shoes are an obvious rip off of the AF1! Go figure!

    I think you’ll find the waffle came well before bill, he just put some rubber in his waffle maker. The man would turn in his grave.

    I was hoping Nike would get reamed for the obvious BBC/Ice Cream rip off. Hypebeast did not disappoint.

    Looks more like hoodie material than windrunner material.

    word.
    bbc did do waffle mad long ago.

  21. Posted by:brian on November 24, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    pffffffffffff BBC may have done it but as I remember it was so utterly weak that it doesn’t count.

    The cut, graphic and label on these pieces are sharp. nice job, nike.

    Didn’t BBC do this already. I remember the BBC version sat on the shelves and didn’t move. Maybe if they teamed up with Waffle House these would move like hot cakes.

    wow I thought BBC ice cream did something like this like last year but I guest it doesn’t matter because nike is doing it again any way
