I suppose if you’re a sneakerhead, especially one with a Nike fixation, you should have a pair of these. The legendary Nike Waffle Racer is seeing another is dropping yet again, which is significant because this is one of the original Nike styles, with that unmistakable waffle sole and lightweight suede-and-nylon upper. The Nike Waffle Racer vintage, originally released in 1976, has a weathered, distressed look so it appears 30 years old as soon as you put it on.

While the shoe has recently been available on NikeStore, at the moment it’s for sale over at Atmos-Tokyo, although hopefully that signals its return to American outlets. While I dig a lot of Nike’s newer stuff, I’m feeling the really-vintage joints they’ve been dropping lately, namely these Waffle Racer Vintage as well as the Nike Killshot Vintage I talked about a bit ago. Anyway, cop now at Atmos, and I’ll let you know about another US release if I hear anything.
