Full details
This guide is for sneaker enthusiasts and fashion-forward individuals seeking a unique, hybrid footwear design. The key benefit is the distinctive aesthetic blending two iconic Nike runners, offering a statement piece for any collection.

The Nike LDWaffle sacai in Pine Green features a hybrid silhouette derived from the LDV and Waffle Racer, crafted with leather and distinct layered detailing, including a bright magenta Swoosh, del sol, and clay orange accents, all set on a white midsole and black outsole. It originally retailed for $160 and was released in September 2019.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal parts. Try inserting a talc-free powder under the insole or ensure laces are not over-tightened.
Color transfer from accents to socks
For new shoes, some initial color transfer is possible. Wear darker socks initially, or allow the shoes to air out for a few days before wearing light-colored socks.
Dirt accumulation in layered details
Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) and a mild cleaning solution to gently remove dirt from the seams and layered areas. Ensure to wipe away residue with a damp cloth.
Creasing on the leather upper
Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid bending the shoes excessively during wear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush, being careful not to scrub too harshly.
- Cleaning the Suede/Mesh Accents: For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush or eraser. For mesh, a damp cloth is usually sufficient.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth or a mixture of soap and water. An old toothbrush can be useful for getting into crevices.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent, then air dry.
