Every Skims x Nike drop needs one loud pair, and this round it’s the Waffle Racer in Thunder Blue. Blue Eclipse and Coconut Milk layer under the main blue, with Muslin accents keeping things from going full cartoon. Of the three women’s Waffle Racers hitting November 10, this is the one that actually has some color to it.
Blue retro runners are having a moment generally, and this shade sits somewhere between royal and a deeper sky tone. On the slim Waffle Racer silhouette with the nylon and suede build, it gives off serious 70s track vibes, like something pulled straight off a vintage Olympic track. The Coconut Milk midsole warms it up nicely too.
Up close the color blocking is more layered than the first product shots suggest. The swoosh picks up a different blue than the base, the collar and tongue get the lighter Muslin treatment, and there’s enough contrast in the materials to keep the eye moving. Skims colorways usually go tonal, so seeing them swing bolder here is notable.
Same deal as its siblings underneath, the foam midsole and the real waffle tread that gives the shoe its name. The pattern was literally born from a waffle iron back in the day, and it’s still the best-looking outsole detail Nike has for my money.
Thunder Blue drops with the rest of the trio on November 10 at 10 AM ET for $130 in women’s sizing. GOAT has the listing live already if you miss the Nike release. Between the three colorways I think Light Bone sells out first, but this is the pair that photographs best, and that counts for a lot with this collaboration.
