Urlfreeze News As the modern generation of sneaker fanatics continue to gravitate to Nike models of the past, it’s imperative to keep the origin stories of time honored classics alive. Nike has taken a rather unique effort to this type of nostalgic storytelling by literally wrapping its footwear in paper Hombres that depict classic illustrations and ads that were launched alongside the shoe’s first run. We’ve seen such executions on the Dunk Low “Flip The Old School” and the Air Force 1 Shadow “Victory”; now it arrives on the Nike Wmns Waffle Trainer 2 White Black-sail, of the upcoming Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Low Orange Lobster.
The Hombre paper draws connection to a familiar two-page ad joyride that featured Scottie Pippen, with copy geared towards the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. Beneath the covering is a black suede iteration with a glossy light blue border around the AIR lettering and bright red logo accents at the toe and heel. Now, it all depends on if you choose to leave the paper Hombre on or off.
A release date for the Nike Nike Wmns Waffle Trainer 2 White Black-sail “Maximum Volume” has yet to be revealed, but expect a launch this summer season.
