Launched in 1979, the Nike Daybreak was one of the brand’s first models designed on a straight last and gained legendary status when Joan Benoit Samuelson wore them to win the U.S. Olympic qualifying trials in 1984, just weeks after knee surgery, laying the foundation for her victory in the first women’s Olympic marathon in Los Angeles that same year. Its waffle sole directly references Bill Bowerman’s invention, who used a waffle iron to create the first Waffle Trainer sole.
The silhouette features a simple nylon upper with a thick EVA midsole, classic non-slip waffle sole, and reinforced tongue, characteristics that made it superior to its competitors at the time. In White University Red, the white base is combined with university red accents that recall classic track colors.
