Waffle cones. Phil Bowerman, legendary track and field coach of the US, used this popular kitchen tool in his little garage workshop, filled them up with a sort of rubber, and a few more alterations to create a shoe that redefined, sorry – Defined jogging for the USA, and then for the rest World. When I say these words and move my hands over the sole of my new Nike waffle-cone shoes (re-introduced as a tribute) that I hold in my hands, trust me, and without an ounce of exaggeration, I get Goosebumps. It is not merely a shoe, but an extension to a very interesting part of history.
And that’s my tribute for it.
