FAQs

What makes this sneaker a triple collaboration?

The upper is constructed from a mix of premium materials including leather, nylon, and suede.

How is the fit described?

The shoe features a sneaker-bootie shape with a heightened ankle opening, providing a snug and supportive fit, similar to a boot.

The layered construction, including dual tongues, layered laces, and stacked sole, is a signature element from sacai's design philosophy, combined with the avant-garde approach of Jean Paul Gaultier.

Is this sneaker suitable for running?

Troubleshooting

Uneven lacing

Adjust both sets of laces independently to achieve a balanced and comfortable fit. Experiment with different tying methods for the ribbon laces.

Material scuffing

Use appropriate cleaning tools for each material type (e.g., suede brush for suede, leather cleaner for leather). Address scuffs promptly to prevent permanence.

Discomfort due to unique shape

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Wear with appropriate socks. Allow a short break-in period.
