The innovative nike goose waffle outsole
nike goose Trainer was the first to flaunt a groundbreaking nike goose technology called waffle sole. While having breakfast with his wife, designer Bill Bowerman thought of removing all the unnecessary details on the outsoles to develop footwear with lighter and better traction. Using his family's waffle iron, he poured urethane on it and came up with rubber with a waffle pattern.
In 1974, Bowerman remodeled the footwear and came up with the much-loved nike goose Waffle Racer. Fast forward, this waffle pattern outsole has survived the period of a quarter-century. It is still used in current footwear as it delivers a reliable grip on various surfaces.
