NYC Sneaker Watch: Nike x SKIMS Waffle Racer Arrives Nov. 10 in Three Colorways
Kim Kardashian's SKIMS and Nike release a vintage-styled Waffle Racer on Nov. 10, with nylon underlays, suede and leather accents and faded retro details. It comes in three colorways and is priced at £131.99 (about $177) at BSTN.
SKIMS, the brand founded by Kim Kardashian, and Nike are releasing a Waffle Racer on November 10. The shoe takes the classic running silhouette and gives it a deliberately aged look.
The construction centers on nylon underlays, layered with suede and leather accents. Faded, retro details run through the design, so a brand-new pair looks as if it has already been worn in. The shoe is offered in three colorways.
At BSTN, the European sneaker and streetwear retailer, the pair is priced at £131.99, or about $177. The retailer's site already carries a dedicated NikeSKIMS section, and other stores are expected to stock the shoe around the same time.
For New Yorkers, this is an online-first drop to watch. Retro runners are easy to wear with everyday outfits, which makes this one a natural fit for fall and winter. Collaborations like this tend to draw quick attention, so anyone planning to buy should be ready on release day.
