Nike Phoenix Waffle and where it began
Nike’s Waffle sole was created by Bill Bowerman using a waffle iron back when Nike was still Blue Ribbon Sports back in the 60s. That design became a defining innovation for early runners, and the Phoenix model draws on that running heritage and age-old design.
The Nike Phoenix Waffle has updates that include things like classic panels, suede overlays, and a waffle-rubber outsole that blends a long-standing look and feel with a higher midsole and more cushioning for a more comfortable fit.
You can pair these trainers with a loose-fitting T-shirt and some tracksuit bottoms on days when you’re just walking around town.
Phoenix Waffle shoes and its different styles
The Phoenix Waffle shoe comes in women’s and men’s cuts, with suede overlays, a netting/mesh base, and a higher midsole. They’re designed with comfort in mind, and although not a sports shoe, they’re durable and comfortable enough to withstand long walks.
You can style the Phoenix Waffle by Nike with lightweight separates on warm days, like men’s linen trousers and a short-sleeved T-shirt with some tidy accessories to keep you looking tidy.
How to style the Nike Phoenix Waffle for daily life
The Nike Phoenix Waffle pairs excellently with joggers or track pants during casual get-togethers, and if you’re heading out for the evening, a single or dual-tone darker pair can be worn with a crewneck jumper and some chinos or tapered jeans.
The Phoenix Waffle by Nike also works well if you work in a casual office where you can wear jeans, and during festivals, where everything goes, but comfort is key. Look at the muted tones for low-key outfits or brighter colours if you want to turn heads.
For a girl’s night out, wear your trainers with a white maxi-dress for contrast, and add a denim jacket for some structure and to keep you warm. Make sure to keep the suede panels away from heavy rain and refresh the uppers with a soft brush and mild soap, if needed.
