Nike x sacai x Clot LDWaffle 'Kiss Of Death 2' - UK 8.5

The 'Kiss of Death 2' (K.O.D. 2) refers to CLOT's 2013 Air Max 1 SP collaboration, which this LDWaffle design takes inspiration from, continuing the theme.

While built with Nike's cushioning technology, these are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear and fashion. They are not intended for rigorous athletic training or performance sports.

The no-sew, see-through fused upper is designed for durability and a lightweight feel. It's generally resilient for everyday wear, but like any mesh material, it can be susceptible to tears if caught on sharp objects.

The dual tongue design is a signature element of the sacai collaboration, creating a layered, deconstructed look that adds to the shoe's distinctive aesthetic.

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the speckled midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the speckled pattern or material.

The upper primarily features a tonal grey mesh material combined with a no-sew, see-through fused overlay.

The Swoosh is made of 3M reflective material, meaning it becomes highly visible and bright when light sources (like camera flashes or headlights) hit it, especially in low-light conditions. It appears as a standard Swoosh in normal lighting.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the layered components. Try ensuring laces are not tied too tightly or too loosely. A small amount of talcum powder under the tongue might help if the sound is internal.

Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing directly on the reflective material. If dirtied, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals can damage the reflective coating.

Ensure the dual tongues are positioned correctly. Adjust lacing to find a comfortable pressure point. The design is intentional, so some initial adjustment might be needed to find the ideal fit.
