FAQs

Is the sizing true to size?

Generally, these follow standard Nike sizing, but the layered design may feel slightly more snug than a traditional running shoe.

Can I use these for running?

While it features athletic DNA, this is a fashion collaboration and is best reserved for casual lifestyle wear.

What is the best way to clean the foam midsole?

Wipe the foam with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the material.

Does it come with extra laces?

The shoe features a double-lacing system integrated into the design, providing the signature layered aesthetic.

What makes this collaboration unique?

It represents a rare intersection of Nike's performance history with the avant-garde design language of sacai and Jean Paul Gaultier.

How do I avoid yellowing of the white mesh?

Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight when not in use and store them in a climate-controlled, dry environment.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose after walking

Adjust the tension on both sets of laces individually to ensure even pressure across the double-tongue system.

Visible dirt on mesh upper

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris; avoid soaking the shoe.

Heel drag during normal gait

Due to the extended midsole design, be mindful of your heel strike when walking to avoid unnecessary wear on the foam platform.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking, avant-garde high-fashion design
  • Premium woven material construction
  • Distinctive extended heel silhouette
  • Unique layered visual details
  • Heritage-inspired grip performance

Cons

  • Extended midsole may feel bulky to some
  • Light white colorway is prone to showing dirt
  • Complex lacing system requires more time to adjust
  • Limited suitability for high-intensity athletic performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your VaporWaffles, avoid wearing them in muddy or rainy conditions, as the white mesh upper is susceptible to staining. Because the shoe utilizes a double-lacing system, take the time to adjust both sets of laces independently to achieve the desired tension across the midfoot. For cleaning, use a soft-bristle brush and a mild, specialized sneaker cleaner, dabbing gently at the mesh rather than scrubbing aggressively. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white materials from yellowing over time.
