“If you have a body, you are an athlete”
New Nike Vaporfly Next% 2 comes with this quote. The quote from Nike co-founder and American Track and Field Coach Bill Bowerman.
The quote “If you have a body, you are an athlete” is imprinted on the insole and that make us think this Hyper Royal colourway is a tribute from Nike to Bill Bowerman.
The second clue that make us think this tribute is Waffle Sole print on the shoe tongue. Following the success of Nike Cortez, Bill designed and invented waffle sole. The distinguishing waffle sole debuted at the upcoming 1972 U.S. Olympic track and field trials in Eugene.
The official colourway of this Nike Vaporfly Next% 2 is Hyper Royal/Psychic Blue/Blue Void/Yellow Strike (Style: DM8324-400). Check out our stockist here.
