The Skims x Nike line keeps reaching into the archive, and this time it pulled out the Waffle Racer. The Light Bone colorway is the quietest of the three women’s pairs releasing November 10, all-white and College Grey with a Phantom swoosh and a Varsity Red touch that keeps it from being fully neutral. $130, women’s sizing.
The Waffle Racer is one of those shapes that feels tailor made for this collaboration. The nylon base with suede and leather overlays is pure 1970s track, and the slim cut reads more like a fashion shoe than a runner. The Varsity Red accent on this colorway is doing a lot of subtle work. Pull the swooshes and heel details into view and there’s just enough color to keep the tonal upper interesting.
Materials look proper here, not the cheap kind of retro. The nylon has that slightly glossy vintage feel, the overlays are real suede, and the whole thing sits on a foam midsole with the actual waffle tread underneath. If Skims was going to pick one silhouette to convert people who don’t care about sneakers, this is the one.
The trio drops November 10 at 10 AM ET on Nike.com, and I’d expect this Light Bone pair to move the fastest of the three. Neutral Skims colorways have historically been the ones that vanish first and then get marked up hardest. If you want the full Skims look, the box, dust bag and extra laces that come with it are part of the appeal too.
