FAQs

Is the sizing true to size?

Generally, this silhouette fits consistent with standard Nike sizing, but the layered tongue and inner construction can offer a snugger feel than traditional runners.

Can I wear these for running?

While it features performance-inspired technology, it is intended as a lifestyle and fashion shoe; it is not recommended for dedicated long-distance running.

How do I protect the white mesh?

Applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mesh and textile materials can provide an extra layer of protection against minor spills and dirt.

Are the laces meant to be doubled?

Yes, the layered, double-laced design is a signature aesthetic of this sacai collaboration.

Does the sneaker include any extra branding?

Yes, the collaboration features triple branding from Nike, sacai, and Jean Paul Gaultier on the tongue, heel tab, and insole.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust trapped in woven upper

Use a soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister to gently dislodge particles from the weave.

Discoloration on foam midsole

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, wiping carefully to avoid the fabric areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly unique, fashion-forward design aesthetic
  • Premium material selection with intricate weaving
  • Iconic collaborative branding across multiple touchpoints
  • Distinctive architectural midsole construction

Cons

  • Light white colorway is prone to showing dirt and stains
  • Complex layered construction can be harder to clean than standard trainers
  • Exaggerated heel platform may feel different during natural walking cycles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your pair in top condition, ensure you store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can yellow the foam and white textiles over time. When cleaning, avoid harsh chemical detergents. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust from the woven upper. For the foam midsole, a mild soap solution on a microfiber cloth is recommended. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as the intense agitation and heat can damage the layered aesthetic and adhesive bonds.
