FAQs

What materials are the Nike x sacai x KAWS Blazer Low 'Purple Dusk' made of?

The primary material is smooth purple leather. The shoe also features layered textile elements for the Swooshes and eyestays, along with rubber for the outsole.

How do I clean the multilayered Swooshes and eyestays?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean these areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could damage the layered materials. For stubborn dirt, a mild sneaker cleaner can be carefully applied.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These sneakers are designed primarily for lifestyle and fashion wear. While they offer good traction, they are not intended for rigorous athletic activities.

What does the 'XX' insignia represent?

The 'XX' insignia is a signature element of the artist KAWS, signifying his involvement in the collaboration.

How do the doubled tongues and soles affect comfort?

The doubled elements are designed to enhance the aesthetic and can provide additional cushioning and a snugger fit for some wearers, contributing to overall comfort.

Can I adjust the lacing for a different look?

Yes, the dual sets of laces offer flexibility. You can choose to lace both sets, one set, or even use different colored laces for a personalized appearance.

What was the original retail price of these sneakers?

The Nike Blazer Low sacai KAWS 'Purple Dusk' originally retailed for $140 USD.

Troubleshooting

Uneven lacing due to doubled laces

Experiment with different lacing techniques or simply tie one set of laces for a cleaner look. Ensure both tongues are positioned comfortably.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use.

Dirt or scuffs on the layered components

Gently clean with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for mixed materials, testing on a small area first.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a gentle wipe-down. Avoid soaking the leather.
  2. Suede/Textile Areas: If applicable to specific parts of the shoe, use a suede brush or a soft cloth. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Soles: Clean the rubber soles with mild soap and water. A toothbrush can be helpful for reaching crevices.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and damage.
