A bit of new meets old, Shibuya’s Halloween festivities have been met with a celebratory Nike Nike Waffle Racer White Gum. Joining up with the two exclusive colorways revealed just earlier today, the pair takes on a scheme much spookier than the public transport inspired creations. Combining very few hues, the commemorative release more so focuses on the brand’s large toolbox of materials. Toe caps, matching that of the eye stays, are dyed a pumpkin orange with tumbled textures while heel counters contrast heavily in their preference for black patent leather. Swooshes, as well as their connected heel tabs, are polished and smoothened out in a dark, brogue-like brown, lying against a backdrop of translucent PVC tinted to fit the holiday’s core aesthetics. Toe boxes follow suit in this very same material with sole units and tongues darkening up in homage to the night, leaving contrast stitching as well as the “SBY” patch at the rear to add further notes of festivity. Grab a detailed look at the pair right here and find it releasing exclusively in Japan come October 31st.
