The New Nike Zoom Rival Waffle 7 Running Shoes Are Taking Me Back To My High School Cross Country Days

You might not be able to tell based on my current 10-minute mile, but I ran cross country/track for all three seasons of high school. Back then, I was about 130 pounds sopping wet (and about the same height as I am now, so freakishly skinny), I could run a sub-5 mile, and I LOVED cross country season in the fall. Between the crisp fall weather and the hilly course at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, cross country should have been all three seasons, sprinters, throwers, and jumpers be damned. That’s why I was so jazzed to see the release of the new Nike Zoom Rival Waffle 7 Cross-Country Racing Shoes.

I went through plenty of running and racing shoes during my high school track days, but I could always count on Nike footwear. Why? Because they deliver and perform. After all, they were originally founded for runners and not for that one guy on the Bulls who was good at basketball. Although his shoes are awfully nice, too.

The new Zoom Rival Waffle 7 continues in that long line of great racing footwear, with a full-length Waffle outsole, open-hole mesh for enhanced breathability, and water drainage when running through wet terrain. Add that all up and you’ve got a shoe built for you to smash your PR regardless of weather or terrain.
