Off-White X Nike Waffle Racer First Colorway Revealed: Photos

Virgil Abloh is continuing his work with Nike.

One of the biggest sneaker collaborations over the last few years has been Virgil Abloh's Off-White collection with Nike. There have been a plethora of shoes to come from the collab and now one more silhouette is being added to the list. This time, Abloh is giving his take on the women's Nike Waffle Racer which surely comes as a surprise when you think about how little we've seen of the Waffle Racer over the last few years. Despite this, Abloh has been focusing a lot on women's apparel thanks to his work with Serena Williams so a women's collection such as this isn't too much of a reach.

Thanks to the sneaker account @pyleaks, we now know what the first colorway of the Waffle Racer collection will look like. The model is being described as "WHITE/BLACK/ELECTRIC GREEN" which makes a lot of sense when you look at the overall design of the shoe.

White makes up the vast majority of the upper while creamy mesh accents can be found on the toe box and back heel, as well as the midsole. The bottom of the shoe features these same creamy beige spikes. Meanwhile, green laces finish off the look of the upper.

As of right now, there is no release date, although these are expected to cost $150 USD. Stay tuned for updates on this sneaker.

Penny Hardaway’s Nike Air Foamposite One is one of the most iconic signature basketball sneakers of all-time and has seen numerous colorways over the years.

There will always be room in people’s hearts for the Foamposite and that’s exactly why Nike continues to support it.

This latest colorway is simply named “snakeskin” and is easily one of the more exotic colorways of the Foamposite you’ll ever see. The entire upper is composed of the black and white snakeskin while red highlights make their way to the outsole and the tongue. Meanwhile, the tongue and top half of the upper are black, which creates a clean contrast. between the top and bottom portions of the shoe.

These will be dropping next month on June 15th for $230 USD, according to Sole Collector. These will most certainly be a must cop for all of the Foamposite fans out there.
