Nike Roshe Waffle Racer

The Roshe Run has been the go-to strain for Nike lately when it's looking to update an archival silhouette with more modern DNA.

That campaign will continue on the Nike Roshe Waffle Racer NM, seen for the first time here. The shoe looks to 1973's Waffle Racer, a model named for its traction pattern that came straight out of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman's waffle iron, and combines it with Roshe elements.

There's no sneaker release date on this new design yet, but Nike Blog says to expect it for early 2016.
