FAQs
What materials are the Nike x sacai VaporWaffle 'Black Gum' made of?
The shoes feature a black nylon upper with monochromatic suede overlays and tumbled leather Swooshes. The midsole is foam, and the outsole is gum rubber.
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
While they offer good comfort and traction for everyday wear, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers with a fashion-forward aesthetic, not for rigorous athletic performance.
How do I clean the different materials on the shoe?
Use a damp cloth for nylon and leather, and a suede brush/eraser for suede. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.
What does the 'doubled' design element mean?
The 'doubled' elements, such as the tongues and Swooshes, are a signature sacai design choice that creates a layered, deconstructed, and abstract look.
What is the typical sizing like for these shoes?
These shoes are generally true to size for adult UK sizing. It's recommended to refer to Nike's sizing chart if unsure.
When were the Nike x sacai VaporWaffle 'Black Gum' released?
The Nike VaporWaffle sacai Black Gum was released in March 2022.
Troubleshooting
Discoloration on suede
Gently use a suede brush or a specialized suede eraser. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Laces feel inadequate
The doubled tongue design may affect lace tightness. Adjust lacing technique or consider replacing laces with a different length if preferred.
Stiffness in new shoes
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The materials will naturally soften with use.
