FAQs
What does 'hybrid' mean in the context of these shoes?
The 'hybrid' nature refers to the shoe's design combining elements from two distinct Nike running shoe models: the Nike LDV and the Nike Waffle Racer.
What materials are used in the Nike x sacai LDWaffle?
The primary upper material is leather, complemented by other textiles and synthetic accents, sitting on a rubber outsole.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by running shoes, the Nike x sacai LDWaffle is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for fashion and comfort during everyday activities, not high-performance athletic training.
How should I clean the overlapped Nike Swoosh details?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the layered Swoosh details, being careful not to snag or damage the materials.
What is the original release date of this collaboration?
These specific sneakers were released in September of 2019.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these leather shoes in heavy rain, as water can damage the leather and affect the color. If they do get wet, ensure they are dried properly.
What size is a UK 6.5 equivalent in other regions?
A UK 6.5 typically corresponds to a US Men's 7.5, a US Women's 8.0, and a European size 40.5, though sizing can vary slightly between brands.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Minimize creasing by avoiding overly tight lacing and using shoe trees for storage. Gentle use also helps prevent deep creases.
Dirt on layered elements
Use a small, soft brush to carefully clean between the layered panels and Swoosh details. A damp cloth can be used for surface cleaning.
Discoloration from water
Avoid wearing in heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Condition the leather after drying if necessary.
Laces become dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.
