Nike introduces a new tonal variation of the Air Max Waffle sneaker model. It is a reimagined classic silhouette borrowing components from different models. The midsole is drawn from Nike's Air Max Plus model and it is known for its TN branding -- this gives the silhouette a big Air Max bubble bounce at the heel section. The upper and outsole unit is inspired by the Nike Waffle sneaker, delivering a retro model that is familiar and refreshing all at once.
The bright colorway is created from suede materials overlaying throughout. The stark hue boasts a lime green throughout the upper and it is contrasted by touches of cream and black accents. The Swoosh on the side and the outsoles are complete and black whereas the tongue and laces are finished in cream.
