Eras collide when you lace up in the Nike Waffle Racer. It pairs old-school running details like a moccasin-inspired upper and an iconic Waffle sole with modern elements like fresh colors and a comfortable foam midsole.

Let me just say- I am a HUGE fan of almost any Nike Waffle line. From these “revisited” Waffle Racers, to the Waffle One and relations, to the Challenger, Tailwind 79, I could go on. I’m running out of storage. That being said, I was stoked to get a pair for my 40th (!!) and I cracked em open only to be slightly disappointed. Overall, the shoes are fire. Love the classic white on black version with the semi transparent sole. But the back “Nike” logo on my pair was smeared. I don’t want to return them for credit because I want the shoes. Overall, I’m just going to roll with it and embrace the unique aspect of my pair.

Absolutely love the look of these but after trying them on I immediately knew they would not work. Ordered my normal size that I have worn for years (mostly Metcons) and these were both too narrow and too short. The big issue was stability - the outsole is narrower that the footbed (look at the product's 2nd and 6th photos) so they felt wobbly like my foot would slide to the right or left off the narrow outsole. Again, super cute and comfortable, but runs small/narrow and feels unstable so I had to return.

I wanted these shoes so bad. Honestly, they are poorly made. The white fabric looks yellowed and discolored. And no- not in a vintage way. Tge tongue is unfinished/stitched. I dont see these lasting long at all.

These are seriously one of the most comfortable pairs of sneakers I’ve ever owned. If you have wide feet I suggest sizing up as they run a bit narrow. Buy them, you won’t be disappointed.

How can these not be 5* out of 5*??? They are exactly what they're intended to be; an alternative low-pro silhouette for someone not wanting to look like every other 12-25 y.o. Female out there (It's OK, I have 17 & 24 y.o. Daughters :-). Both of them swear by their Samba's & Gazelle's. 🙄 And that's OK. They can have them. Give me the OG Waffle Racer all day. I'm not looking to run an 800M race and they're not looking to play a game of Futsal. It's all fast fashion. Now, when I take the 17yo to see HS at MSG, in NYC this September, I can still fit in with out "trying too hard". Now, if @Nike would only give us the OG Pegasus AT, I'd be in heaven!

Nice and stylish and super light but not as comfy as the original one and it does not have a good support. Unfortunately I had to return it

They are stylish, but nothing like the comfort of the original waffles. They have my feet hurting after a few hours ..

Like the color but don’t care for the tongue too long.

These are the real deal! Nike has modernized a relic of a shoe I always loved. It’s a stylish shoe, that’s able to pull off most any look. I don’t know about anybody else but certain shoes do not go with shorts and others with pants. These go with both. The waffle, which is my favorite breakfast sweet treat by the way is also comfy, with my being able walk throughout the day with ease. If there were any question in your mind about these shoes I hope I helped put them to rest. BUY EM if Nike has your size. Peace! Russell

This is my second pair in a different color way. Great style, super comfortable and perfect fit. I wear a 9 and these are a true to size. Price is a little high for what you get, but these go well in my collection.

I've been wanting these waffle racers to release for a decade! I absolutely love them. That said, I immediately felt there was not enough stability and planned to put the super thin (dress shoe) SuperFeet insoles in. Now they are stable and perfect. These were thin enough not to have to rip out the super thin insole they come with.
I took a flyer on these ordering them online. They looked cool in the photos but I had never seen these up close. I just wanted a black shoe to go with my black nike socks... put them on out of the box and was immediately surprised by how comfortable they were. I was not buying them expecting them to be comfortable but I have been blown away. They look even better in person and perhaps the best thing I can say is I basically haven't taken them off since they came in a week ago! (If I had to say one thing negative about the shoes it would be that the tow box is a little snug... not narrow, but snug. It actually not the width of the toe box that's bothersome but the height. My assumption is that after breaking them in some more, it'll be fine!)
