Rumor has it that Nike and Off-White will collaborate on a Waffle Racer silhouette that will be sized for women and offered in three colors: black/fuchsia/white, white/electric green/black and vivid sky/black/electric green.
The Waffle Racer is one of Nike’s most iconic silhouettes. Introduced at retail in 1973, the shoe was one of Nike’s first break out popular shoes.
This collection matters because it indicates Nike’s efforts with Off-White designer Virgil Abloh will continue into 2019. Also, as celebrated as the Nike x Off-White partnership has been, the various silhouettes almost entirely have been sized for men. As such, it’s nice to see Nike make an effort to bring women in on the fun.
According to @py_rates, the collection will include shoes and clothing and will drop sometime in 2019.
Note: the above shoe is a Waffle Racer, but as of yet there aren’t any images of the shoe as designed by Abloh.
