The waffle sole was actually first implemented as a sole of a running shoe. There are still many vintage retro models produced by Nike that use an iteration of this type of sole such as the Air Waffle Trainer.
As this sole was made for running it wouldn't really work on the Jordan 1s or the Air Force Ones, which were originally designed to play basketball. These come with a much flatter / smoother sole.
Thanks and hope this helps clarify a few things for you!
