FAQs
What does 'sacai' mean in the product name?
'sacai' refers to the Japanese fashion brand that collaborated with Nike on this sneaker design, known for its innovative and deconstructed aesthetic.
How should I determine my size?
Nike VaporWaffles generally fit true to size. However, if you prefer a looser fit or have wider feet, consider sizing up half a size. Consult Nike's official size guide for detailed measurements.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While comfortable for walking and light activity, these are primarily fashion sneakers. They are not designed for intense athletic training or sports performance.
How do I clean the doubled tongues?
The doubled tongues can be cleaned using a similar method as the nylon upper. Use a soft brush for loose dirt and a slightly damp cloth for stains, avoiding excessive moisture.
What is the original release date and price?
The Nike VaporWaffle sacai Sail Gum was released in March 2022 with an original retail price of $180.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the nylon upper offers some protection, it is not waterproof. The suede and leather elements can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on nylon upper
Minor creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, avoid overly tight lacing and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Suede appearing dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.
Gum sole discoloration
Discoloration can occur over time. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth may help, but some aging is to be expected with gum rubber.

Care Instructions:
