Nike Waffle Debut Review - Soleracks。Nike Waffle Debut Men\'s Shoes Black 7.5 or 8.0 Retro gets modernized in the Nike Waffle Debut. Remember that smooth suede and nylon trend? It\'s back. To modernize these kicks, we added a wedge-shaped midsole that feels incredibly plush. We\'ve kept it classic on the bottom with the tried, true and trusted Waffle outsole for traction, durability and heritage style. Swoosh logos wrap around heel to form a pull tab, adding thoughtful aesthetic to easy-on-and-off functionality. Soft suede overlays echo the materials used on pre-Nike Blue Ribbon Sports shoes while textile underlays add durability with a crisp finish. Low-cut, padded collar looks sleek and feels great. Rubber Waffle outsole adds traction, durability and heritage style.

And that old, rusty waffle iron? Well, it now sits on a pedestal at Nike World Headquarters.
