FAQs

What makes this sneaker a three-way collaboration?

This sneaker is the result of a partnership between three distinct entities: the athletic powerhouse Nike, the innovative Japanese fashion brand sacai, and the iconic French designer Jean Paul Gaultier.

What materials are used in the construction of this shoe?

The shoe features a premium blend of materials, including leather, nylon, and suede, contributing to its durability and aesthetic appeal.

How does the 'doubled-up' aesthetic manifest?

The 'doubled-up' aesthetic is primarily seen in the design's two tongues and layered laces, creating a visually complex and unique appearance.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While featuring a waffle sole for traction and cushioning, its complex design and premium materials make it more suited for casual wear and fashion statements rather than intense athletic performance.

When was this shoe released?

The Nike VaporWaffle sacai Jean Paul Gaultier 'Black' White was released on February 22nd, 2022.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

For the suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents on suede.

What does 'VaporWaffle' refer to in the name?

VaporWaffle refers to the innovative design that fuses elements of Nike's Zoom Vaporfly 4% and the classic Nike Waffle Racer, creating a hybrid silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel uneven or uncomfortable

Adjust the layered laces by re-tying them, ensuring each tongue lies flat and comfortably against your foot. Experiment with different lacing tensions.

Suede material appears dry or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the affected areas. This will help lift the nap and restore the texture.

Dirt marks on leather or nylon sections

Wipe the areas with a clean, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Shoe loses its shape during storage

Utilize shoe trees or stuff the shoes with acid-free paper when not in use to help them retain their original form.
