The Nike Air Max Waffle 'Bright Ceramic' fuses heritage running design with modern comfort, delivering a fresh take on archival DNA. Inspired by Nike’s classic Waffle Racer lineage, this silhouette combines vintage aesthetics with contemporary Air Max tooling for a look that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
The upper features a lightweight mesh and suede construction dressed in a crisp white base, accented by bold Bright Ceramic orange overlays and hits of navy blue on the Swoosh, heel tab, and tongue. The retro color blocking evokes Nike’s late-’90s and early-2000s running catalog, while the exposed foam tongue and woven labels further enhance the vintage vibe.
Underfoot, the shoe incorporates a visible Air unit in the heel, embedded into a sculpted midsole that delivers plush cushioning and all-day wearability. A classic waffle-pattern rubber outsole provides grip and nods directly to Nike’s earliest innovations.
