![]() ![]() I know Nike can give us better suede but then again at $100 maybe they won’t. I would have preferred a nice soft suede since this is essentially a modern lifestyle shoe. I had heard that the quality was good on these, and I was looking forward to at least getting some nice suede. How is the Quality on the Nike Waffle One? Which is still a lot of money, but as far as sneakers go, it usually just gets you the basics. So, not a lot included here, however the retail price is only at $100. The box is a typical orange Nike Sportswear box. These ship with a set of standard flat laces. The outsole is all one color with some white bits of the midsole showing through and a contrasting hit at the back with a swoosh and “EST 1972” debossed. 1972 // BVRTN // OR – NSW // WFFL 1” with a swoosh. The insole is all one color with a contrasting print that also reads “EST. 1972 // BVRTN // OR – NSW // WFFL 1” and a swoosh debossed. On the inward facing part of the heel clip we see “EST. It’s pretty tough to read but it’s there. If you pull the backtab back you can see a Nike swoosh with “Est. The mesh panel continues towards the back along with another suede piece and of course that unique plastic heel clip. Moving to the side we have another mesh panel with a black leather swoosh over it. On the side of the mudguard we have a small reflective hit and just above that we can see a mini swoosh peeking out from behind the mesh. Moving down we have suede eyelets that lead to a mesh toebox with a suede mudguard. Starting off we have a mesh tongue that’s a bit thin at the top and says “NSW // WFFL 1” on the outside part with a swoosh that sits just behind the top two eyelets. I’m no psychic, but I see a similar fate befalling these. I like how its a mesh rather than some see through plastic like the Element React.Īfter I rocked my Undercover Daybreaks a bunch, they became my beaters. On this black colorway if you rock some black socks, it will essentially blend in. If you’re the type of person that likes 70s Nike runners but wants something new to rock with a similar vibe, this is the shoe for you! The colorway on this release helps keep the shoe lowkey despite having the style upgrade.Īs far as the see through elements, me from 5 years ago probably would have hesitated, but these days it’s such a common design that I can appreciate the look. I like 70s runners like the Waffle Trainer 2 and so these being similar to those to some degree also is a factor. It would have been cool to have a small visible orange hit somewhere but otherwise the little bits of white text and miniswoosh help break up the upper enough. The box lists orange as being in the colorway but it’s not used on the upper. I happened to see this colorway go up on Nike right around the same day I got paid and with the low retail price of $100 I grabbed a pair right then and there.Ī nice clean black and white colorway is never a bad thing and I like how these are mostly all black with just a few white hits. ![]() I liked the Undercover Daybreaks and the ones I had were the black and white pair. I started checking for a pair of these but hadn’t found a colorway I really wanted to get until these came out. I’d been seeing various reviewers as well as people on social media rocking these and I wanted to get a pair for myself to try.
