What makes the design of this shoe unique?

The shoe features sacai's signature deconstructed aesthetic, including doubled tongues and doubled Swooshes, along with a stacked foam midsole.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While comfortable for walking, the Nike x sacai VaporWaffle is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for high-intensity athletic activities.

How should I clean the different materials on the shoe?

Clean nylon and suede gently with a soft brush or damp cloth. Wipe leather with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally and avoid soaking.

What year was the Nike VaporWaffle sacai Black Gum released?

The Nike VaporWaffle sacai Black Gum was released in March of 2022.

Troubleshooting

Suede appearing matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap of the material. For stains, consult a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Tongues or Swooshes feel stiff

This is part of the deconstructed design. Wear should naturally soften the materials over time. Avoid using excessive force when putting on or taking off the shoes.

Gum outsole shows scuff marks

Light scuff marks can often be removed with a damp cloth and gentle scrubbing. For deeper marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
