Just like the Yellow Nike Waffle Trainer 2 that we shared with you last week, this special iteration of the Nike Waffle Trainer 2 also pays tribute to America ascent of K2.
K2, also known as Savage Mountain, is the world?s second highest peak?bested by only 779 feet by Mount Everest. Led by famed climber Jim Whittaker, it was a photo of Rick Ridgeway and John Roskelley, two of the four Americans who made history back in September 1978, that inspired this Waffle Trainer 2, who were wearing the LDV while climbing the mountain.
Commemorating the moment, this Nike Waffle Trainer 2 comes dressed in a Gym Red, Metallic Gold Star, Hyper Royal, and Black color scheme. Unique detailing that pays tribute comes by way of the mountain graphic on the tongue label, the stamp-like logos on the sock liners and the ?NIKE? text o the heel is overlaid with ?K2? lettering.
Retailing for $100, look for the Nike Waffle Trainer 2 Gym Red to release in the coming weeks at select retailers and Nike.com.
