First Looks at Nike’s Recycled Crater Foam Waffle Racer

Select Model

If recent times have taught us anything it is that we need to look after the planet and ourselves, the Nike Waffle Racer Crater Foam looks to offer a helping hand to accomplish just that. Featuring a sole totally comprised of recycled factory floor scraps – as previously seen on the Space hippie collection, Nike looks to lower their carbon footprint and contribution to the world’s waste issue with a unique piece of footwear.

Sole aside, the shoe is constructed of a myriad of varying materials on the upper – unclear if recycled components were used -, the predominately leather upper serves as a foundation for the nubuck overlays on the toe box and heel that are accompanied by canvas paneling seen on the lace stays and medial that results in a unique textured delight. The two-tone multicolored speckled paper mâché-esq sole unit sits at the pairs bedrock and offers a large Waffle tread for plenty of traction, the design is finished by a red swoosh attached with large exposed stitching and branding on the heel which contrasts well with the remainder of the shoe.

Rumored to be an early 2021 release on Nike.com so check out the sneak peek below and follow our official House of Heat Twitter account for the latest info as it arrives.
