Cushioned collars reduce pressure points around ankles

Get me whatever they were smokin' the day that the Air Max Waffle was designed because these things are wild! Age gaps be damned, the decades between parents of this Nike lovechild made a certified banger.

With a classic suede and nylon upper from the Waffle Racer, it's fused to that iconic Tuned Air midsole from the Air Max Plus (or Tn to us Aussies). The result is something that on paper would make you recoil, but in reality it somehow works. The sleek lines of the Waffle Racer aren't too dissimilar to the original uppers of the Tn, and the waffle rubber outsole makes you forget there aren't any forefoot bubbles.
