Nike Waffle One 'Black/Iron Grey" Features a Stripped-Back Mesh Upper
In place of the silhouette’s standard synthetic TPE construction.
Slim and speedy but with a look that’s still grounded in classic Nike design, the Waffle One has become a Nike Sportswear lifestyle favorite in 2021 — debuting via a Whitaker Group-exclusive style before releasing in in-line colorways like “Electric Green” and “Underbrush.” Now, it’s arrived in a “Black/Iron Grey” makeup with one notable difference from its predecessors: a stripped-back mesh upper.
Where every previous Waffle One has used a translucent TPE for its upper, the mesh build on the “Black/Iron Grey” gives it an even more streamlined look than its predecessors. This black mesh base is surrounded by black suede mudguards and eyestays plus black leather heel pieces and a gold-speckled, double-stacked heel clip. Swooshes are presented in white leather, while tan and small hits of blue appear on and around the collar. Down below, black midsoles add small Nike graphics towards the heel and the waffle outsoles that give the shoe its name feature the same gold speckling as the heel clips.
The Nike Waffle One “Black/Iron Grey” is available now via the Nike Japan wbstore, and will likely arrive in the US later in August. Its MSRP is set at $100 USD.
