FAQs

What makes this sneaker a collaboration?

This sneaker is a collaboration between Nike, the Japanese fashion label sacai, and the artist KAWS. Each brings their unique design elements and aesthetic to the shoe.

What is the significance of the 'XX' branding?

The 'XX' is KAWS' signature mark, often used in his artwork. It is debossed on the lateral toe of this sneaker as a nod to his involvement.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the Nike Blazer Low sacai x KAWS is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is not intended for athletic performance.

How do I clean the layered design elements?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the layered areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the multiple components.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from smooth purple leather, with additional material layers contributing to the design.

When were these released?

The Nike Blazer Low sacai x KAWS 'Purple Dusk' was released in December 2021.

What is the original retail price?

The original retail price for this collaboration was $140 USD.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel uneven after tying.

Untie the laces and ensure they are laid flat and evenly across the eyelets before re-tying, paying attention to the doubled lace effect.

Leather creasing.

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and store with shoe trees.

Slight color transfer from purple leather.

This is common with dyed leather. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored clothing or surfaces, especially when new or wet.

Sole feels stiff initially.

The herringbone rubber sole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sneakers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. The traditional lacing system allows for adjustable comfort.

Compatibility:

Designed as a lifestyle shoe, they are compatible with a wide range of casual and fashion-forward apparel. Their unisex appeal makes them suitable for anyone appreciating the design.

Care:

  • Leather Care: Regularly wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water exposure.
  • Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and maintain texture. Do not use water.
  • Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure they are dry afterwards.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Use a shoe tree to help maintain their shape.
