A waffle iron is what started Nike.  Bill Bowerman was the head track coach at the University of Oregon in the late 60's and would use his wife's waffle iron to make running shoes.  Him and Phil Knight began selling these shoes in the 70''s.  There's a scene in the move "Without Limits" that shows Bowerman making Prefontaine a pair.
