Waffle Debut

The Origin of the Waffle Outsole

Back in 1971, one of Nike’s co-founders, Bill Bowerman, had a moment of inspiration while observing his wife, Barbara, using a waffle iron to prepare breakfast. That moment led him to replace batter with rubber, resulting in the birth of the Waffle outsole. This innovation not only offers exceptional traction, durability, and the distinctive style synonymous with Nike but also underscores the notion that greatness can emerge from everyday experiences. As a testament to its significance, that same waffle iron, once old and neglected, now holds a place of honor at Nike World Headquarters.
