FAQs

What makes the Nike x sacai LDWaffle unique?

Its uniqueness comes from the hybrid design merging two iconic Nike runners (LDV and Waffle Racer) with sacai's signature layered aesthetic, featuring double Swooshes, laces, and other elements.

Are these shoes comfortable for everyday wear?

Yes, they are designed for comfort with cushioning derived from their performance-oriented predecessors, suitable for walking and daily activities.

How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and always test on a small, hidden area first.

What is the typical retail price for these trainers?

These collaborative trainers originally retailed for $160 USD. Due to their collectible nature, aftermarket prices may vary significantly.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, they are not designed for heavy rain. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to preserve the materials.

What does 'LDWaffle' stand for?

LDWaffle is a portmanteau combining 'LDV' (from the Nike LDV) and 'Waffle' (from the Nike Waffle Racer), reflecting its hybrid nature.

Are there different color options available?

Yes, the Nike x sacai LDWaffle has been released in several colorways, including the 'Pine Green' with red and orange accents mentioned here.

Troubleshooting

Laces become untied frequently

Ensure the laces are tied securely. Consider double-knotting them or replacing them with laces that offer better grip.

Creasing on leather upper

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing the shoes and avoid excessive bending.

Discoloration on layered areas

Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If the color transfer is from the dye, it may be a characteristic of the design.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or sole components. Try airing the shoes out or checking for any trapped debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear shoes. The primary setup involves lacing them to your preferred fit. Due to the double-lacing feature, you can choose to lace both sets of eyelets or focus on one for a cleaner look.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adult wear and are compatible with standard sock wear. They pair well with a wide range of casual and fashion-forward apparel.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Suede/Mesh Parts: For any suede or mesh accents, use a suede brush or a soft brush with a mild soap solution. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Soles: The rubber soles can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
