USD)<br \/><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Available now (Japan), TBC (Global)<br \/><strong>Where to Buy:<\/strong> BILLY\u2019S ENT (Japan), TBC (Global)<\/p>\n<p>The Nike Waffle Racer SE is officially out in a Black\/Filbert-Sail colorway. The silhouette brings the original 1977 Waffle Racer into a contemporary context through a leather and dimensional mesh upper, an exposed foam tongue, and a thin sole that preserves the low-profile character of the original while introducing a material range the 1977 version never had.<\/p>\n<p>The construction decisions across the SE reflect a deliberate balance between heritage reference and material update. The leather component grounds the upper in the kind of durable, structured base that the Waffle Racer\u2019s running heritage called for, while the dimensional mesh introduces texture and breathability that a full leather upper would not achieve. The combination gives the Black\/Filbert\/Sail colorway a layered surface quality \u2014 the leather panels sitting against the mesh\u2019s dimensional grain \u2014 that rewards close inspection without making a statement from a distance. The exposed foam tongue is the most visually distinctive departure from the original\u2019s construction, framing the lacing zone in a way that signals the SE\u2019s modern update without abandoning the classic Nike logo that anchors the overall silhouette.\n<\/p>\n<p>The thin sole is the detail that ties the SE most directly to the Waffle Racer\u2019s 1977 identity. The original silhouette was built around a waffle outsole invented from a waffle maker, a piece of Nike origin mythology that positioned the brand as genuinely experimental in its earliest years. The SE\u2019s thin sole preserves the low, close-to-the-ground feel that defined the original\u2019s ride, giving the modernized upper a foundation that connects the two eras of the design rather than letting the material updates float free of their source. The Black\/Filbert\/Sail colorway works within that restraint: the Black base keeps the silhouette contained, the Filbert introduces warmth without brightness, and the Sail provides a clean contrast that keeps the palette from reading as too dark.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6736424\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The Nike Cortez \u201cIronstone\u201d Features a Widened Toebox\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6736435\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Official Look at the Nike Air Max 95 Woven &#8220;Multi&#8221;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6737041\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Nike Basketball Unveils Kevin Durant&#8217;s New KD 19 &#8220;Candy Apple&#8221;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

Nike Waffle Racer \u201cBlack\/Filbert\u201d<br \/><strong>Colorway:<\/strong> Black\/Filbert-Sail<br \/><strong>SKU:<\/strong> IM8673-002<br \/><strong>MSRP:<\/strong> \u00a513,860 JPY (approx. $90 USD)<br \/><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Available now (Japan), TBC (Global)<br \/><strong>Where to Buy:<\/strong> BILLY\u2019S ENT (Japan), TBC (Global)<\/p>\n<p>The Nike Waffle Racer SE is officially out in a Black\/Filbert-Sail colorway. The silhouette brings the original 1977 Waffle Racer into a contemporary context through a leather and dimensional mesh upper, an exposed foam tongue, and a thin sole that preserves the low-profile character of the original while introducing a material range the 1977 version never had.<\/p>\n<p>The construction decisions across the SE reflect a deliberate balance between heritage reference and material update. The leather component grounds the upper in the kind of durable, structured base that the Waffle Racer\u2019s running heritage called for, while the dimensional mesh introduces texture and breathability that a full leather upper would not achieve. The combination gives the Black\/Filbert\/Sail colorway a layered surface quality \u2014 the leather panels sitting against the mesh\u2019s dimensional grain \u2014 that rewards close inspection without making a statement from a distance. The exposed foam tongue is the most visually distinctive departure from the original\u2019s construction, framing the lacing zone in a way that signals the SE\u2019s modern update without abandoning the classic Nike logo that anchors the overall silhouette.\n<\/p>\n<p>The thin sole is the detail that ties the SE most directly to the Waffle Racer\u2019s 1977 identity. The original silhouette was built around a waffle outsole invented from a waffle maker, a piece of Nike origin mythology that positioned the brand as genuinely experimental in its earliest years. The SE\u2019s thin sole preserves the low, close-to-the-ground feel that defined the original\u2019s ride, giving the modernized upper a foundation that connects the two eras of the design rather than letting the material updates float free of their source. The Black\/Filbert\/Sail colorway works within that restraint: the Black base keeps the silhouette contained, the Filbert introduces warmth without brightness, and the Sail provides a clean contrast that keeps the palette from reading as too dark.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6736424\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The Nike Cortez \u201cIronstone\u201d Features a Widened Toebox\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6736435\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Official Look at the Nike Air Max 95 Woven &#8220;Multi&#8221;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6737041\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Nike Basketball Unveils Kevin Durant&#8217;s New KD 19 &#8220;Candy Apple&#8221;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

Nike Waffle Racer \u201cBlack\/Filbert\u201d<br \/><strong>Colorway:<\/strong> Black\/Filbert-Sail<br \/><strong>SKU:<\/strong> IM8673-002<br \/><strong>MSRP:<\/strong> \u00a513,860 JPY (approx. $90 USD)<br \/><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Available now (Japan), TBC (Global)<br \/><strong>Where to Buy:<\/strong> BILLY\u2019S ENT (Japan), TBC (Global)<\/p>\n<p>The Nike Waffle Racer SE is officially out in a Black\/Filbert-Sail colorway. The silhouette brings the original 1977 Waffle Racer into a contemporary context through a leather and dimensional mesh upper, an exposed foam tongue, and a thin sole that preserves the low-profile character of the original while introducing a material range the 1977 version never had.<\/p>\n<p>The construction decisions across the SE reflect a deliberate balance between heritage reference and material update. The leather component grounds the upper in the kind of durable, structured base that the Waffle Racer\u2019s running heritage called for, while the dimensional mesh introduces texture and breathability that a full leather upper would not achieve. The combination gives the Black\/Filbert\/Sail colorway a layered surface quality \u2014 the leather panels sitting against the mesh\u2019s dimensional grain \u2014 that rewards close inspection without making a statement from a distance. The exposed foam tongue is the most visually distinctive departure from the original\u2019s construction, framing the lacing zone in a way that signals the SE\u2019s modern update without abandoning the classic Nike logo that anchors the overall silhouette.\n<\/p>\n<p>The thin sole is the detail that ties the SE most directly to the Waffle Racer\u2019s 1977 identity. The original silhouette was built around a waffle outsole invented from a waffle maker, a piece of Nike origin mythology that positioned the brand as genuinely experimental in its earliest years. The SE\u2019s thin sole preserves the low, close-to-the-ground feel that defined the original\u2019s ride, giving the modernized upper a foundation that connects the two eras of the design rather than letting the material updates float free of their source. The Black\/Filbert\/Sail colorway works within that restraint: the Black base keeps the silhouette contained, the Filbert introduces warmth without brightness, and the Sail provides a clean contrast that keeps the palette from reading as too dark.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6736424\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The Nike Cortez \u201cIronstone\u201d Features a Widened Toebox\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6736435\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Official Look at the Nike Air Max 95 Woven &#8220;Multi&#8221;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6737041\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Nike Basketball Unveils Kevin Durant&#8217;s New KD 19 &#8220;Candy Apple&#8221;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

The Black\/Filbert\/Sail colorway works within that restraint: the Black base keeps the silhouette contained, the Filbert introduces warmth without brightness, and the Sail provides a clean contrast that keeps the palette from reading as too dark.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-author d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider share-divider\">\n<h6>Text By<\/h6>\n<p><span class=\"author-name\">Sophie Caraan<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-credentials d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<div class=\"credential\">\n<h6>Editor Assistant<\/h6>\n<p><span>Thu Tran<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-share d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<h6>Share this article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brand-post-body-widget\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider d-block d-lg-none\">\n<h6>In This Article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-content-tags\">\n<div class=\"body collapsed\">\n<p>    NikeNike Waffle Racer\n                                                            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/6\/nike-waffle-racer-black-filbert-sail-im8673-002-official-images-japan-release-info&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F06%2F12%2FtwNike-Waffle-Racer-Black-Filbert-Sail-IM8673-002-Official-Images-Japan-Release-Info.jpg?w=1080&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;fit=max&#8221;] Footwear Jun 13, 2026 3.6K Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save Text By Sophie Caraan Editor Assistant Thu Tran Share this article In This Article 1 of 5 Billy&#8217;s Ent 2 of 5 Billy&#8217;s Ent 3 of 5 Billy&#8217;s Ent 4 of 5 Billy&#8217;s Ent 5 of 5 Billy&#8217;s Ent Footwear Jun 13, 2026 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,39],"class_list":["post-1990088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-hypebeast-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1990088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1990088"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1990088\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1990088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1990088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1990088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
