True style and sophistication come from absolute simplicity. Nowhere is this more prominent than the Nike Roshe shoe. With a design informed by the practice of meditation and the concept of Zen, the Roshes epitomises simplicity. The shoe strips away embellishments, leaving just the basic elements that give life through every detail. Every part of the shoe corresponds to an aspect of a tranquil Zen garden: a modified waffle outsole looks like stepping stones, an insole that resembles a raked rock garden. As the shoe evolves from Roshe One to Roshe Two and the Nike Roshe Runs, its combination of seriousness and playfulness stays constant.

Nike Roshe Run shoes are simple yet elegant and designer, Dylan Raasch, had to go through 16 alterations before finalizing on one design for the midsole. Originating in 2010 when Dylan Raasch was to bring out new ideas during the Nike Sportswear Fall 11’ seasonal brainstorm session with regards to adding value to lower priced models. That’s when the concept of Nike Roshe came into play.
The Nike Roshe complements the concept of Zen and simplicity and as such its name too was derived from the word Roshi, which is a title given to a Zen master. Due to legal implications, Roshi couldn’t be used to name the shoe and hence, the closest bet, Roshe, was brought to life. The design of the shoe is simple by keeping only the absolutely necessary features. By removing the unnecessary elements and keeping in basic heel and quarter support along with some cushioning, making the new shoe became a challenge.
And so the Nike Roshe Run shoe was made with its bottom outsole using Nike’s natural motion waffle pattern with the insole designed to mimic a freshly raked Zen rock garden. Even the original Iguana colourway was inspired from the natural dark green moss and leaves along with the off-white rocks of a Zen garden.
