FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on running shoe silhouettes, the sacai x LD Waffle is primarily a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. For intense athletic activities, it's recommended to use dedicated running shoes.

How do I clean the layered materials?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the surface. Avoid soaking or using abrasive cleaners that could damage the various layered components.

What does 'deconstructed midsole' mean?

It refers to the midsole's design intentionally appearing incomplete or fragmented, a common element in avant-garde fashion to create a unique aesthetic.

Do these sneakers fit true to size?

Generally, they fit true to size. However, due to the unique construction, trying them on or consulting specific size guides is recommended if possible.

How do I style these sneakers?

These sneakers pair well with contemporary streetwear. Consider cuffing trousers or wearing cropped pants to highlight the design. They also work with minimalist outfits to let the shoe be the statement piece.

What is the main appeal of the sacai x LD Waffle collaboration?

The appeal lies in the unique fusion of sacai's high-fashion, experimental design ethos with Nike's renowned athletic footwear heritage, creating a distinctive and sought-after silhouette.

Are there other colorways available?

Yes, the Nike sacai x LD Waffle has been released in various colorways since its debut. The 'Summit White' is one of the notable iterations.

Troubleshooting

Slight creasing on the midsole

Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on deconstructed elements. Avoid over-tightening laces and allow the shoes to rest when not in use.

Discoloration on lighter areas

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces feel stiff or unusual

The laces are part of the design. If they feel unusual, ensure they are tied comfortably and not overly tightened, which can affect the shoe's structure.

Care:
