Kim Kardashian’s NikeSKIMS partnership is getting another footwear release. Following the NikeSKIMS Air Rift, the collaboration is introducing its second shoe: the NikeSKIMS Waffle Racer.
Arriving in November 2026, the new collection brings back one of Nike’s classic running silhouettes with a modern NikeSKIMS touch.
NikeSKIMS Waffle Racer: What to Expect
Originally introduced in 1977, the Nike Waffle Racer is one of Nike’s early running shoes. Its signature waffle-pattern outsole helped make the silhouette an important part of Nike’s footwear history.
For this collaboration, NikeSKIMS keeps the original design mostly intact rather than making major changes to the shoe.
The biggest differences come through branding, with NikeSKIMS logos appearing on the tongue, heel and insoles.
Kim Kardashian also shared her thoughts on the release, explaining that the Waffle Racer is a timeless silhouette she has always enjoyed wearing. The goal was to preserve its original appeal while giving it a more elevated, modern look.
Three NikeSKIMS Waffle Racer Colorways
1. Baroque Brown
A brown colorway that gives the classic runner a clean, understated look.
2. Thunder Blue
A blue version offering a more noticeable look while keeping the original Waffle Racer design.
3. Light Bone/Varsity Red
A lighter combination featuring Light Bone tones with Varsity Red accents.
NikeSKIMS Waffle Racer Release Date and Price
The NikeSKIMS Waffle Racer collection will release on November 10, 2026, with all three colorways expected to retail for $130 USD.
The sneakers will be available through Nike’s website and SKIMS. A matching apparel collection is scheduled to follow on November 17.

Final Thoughts
NikeSKIMS continues to expand beyond apparel with another classic Nike silhouette. Unlike the more heavily reworked Air Rift, the Waffle Racer keeps things simple with its original running-shoe design and updated branding.
With three colorways arriving November 10, the collection could attract fans of both Nike’s vintage runners and Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS aesthetic.
