Nike Air Max Waffle Racer SP "Matte Olive" IM0340-300

Nike flips the script once again with the Air Max Waffle Racer SP “Matte Olive”. This hybrid design pulls from two of Nike’s most iconic runners—the Air Max Plus and the Waffle Trainer—merging retro charm with everyday wearability.

Up top, the upper leans into a rugged, outdoorsy vibe. Matte Olive ripstop nylon pairs with shaggy suede overlays, while mesh tongues and padded collars ensure lightweight comfort. A bold black leather Swoosh slices through the earthy tones, keeping the look sharp. Meanwhile, gold Nike branding at the heel throws in a subtle ACG-inspired nod, a detail that fans of Nike’s outdoor archives will appreciate.

Underfoot, it’s classic Air Max innovation at work. The midsole borrows the Air Max Plus’ signature Tuned Air unit, delivering impact-absorbing cushioning that holds up for all-day wear. A Coconut Milk midsole softens the contrast, while the outsole brings it all back to where it started—the Waffle tread. Finished in a gum rubber shade, it grips across different surfaces and locks in that retro track aesthetic.

What makes the “Matte Olive” edition special is how it balances rugged textures with sleek lines. Whether paired with cargo trousers, techwear fits, or a simple jeans-and-hoodie combo, these stand out while staying rooted in functional design. It’s a perfect clash of streetwear and trail-ready vibes.
