Description

An original version of the legendary Waffle Trainer released between 1977 and 1979. The iconic waffle was named for the patented waffle iron-like pattern of the rubber outsole which Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman developed after being inspired by his wife’s waffle iron. The raised grid of polygon nubs increased stabilization with gripping edges that improved traction on multiple surfaces, without the need for metal spikes. This was a ground-breaking innovation in shoe design. Nylon used for the upper created light-weight durability. The Waffle Trainer is part of the National Museum of American History
