Gold Swooshes stretch across the black sides of the men's Nike Waffle Racer, matching the bright rear tab. Black/Sail/Gum Medium Brown/University Gold places a thin white midsole between the dark upper and a warm, slightly translucent-looking outsole. Square traction projections rise visibly around the toe edge. This black-and-gold Waffle Racer had a regular US price of $95 on September 22, 2026.
The upper uses suede sections within a moccasin-inspired layout, with curved overlays enclosing the toe and heel. Foam in the midsole provides cushioning, while a rubber waffle outsole supplies traction. Its widely spaced square lugs cover the underside rather than forming a flat herringbone surface. The black laces and tongue blend into the upper, leaving the long gold logo as the central color detail. The narrow white cushioning strip keeps that dark upper visually separate from the softer-toned gum traction below.
