FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Nike LD Waffle sacai Undercover?

The design is a result of a collaboration between Nike, sacai, and Undercover, combining sacai's signature layered aesthetic with Undercover's design ethos on the Nike LDWaffle silhouette.

What materials are used in the Midnight Spruce colorway?

This colorway features a Midnight Spruce nylon upper, complemented by black and red leather details and grey hairy suede overlays.

How does the 'doubled' design affect comfort?

The doubled elements like tongues and overlays are a key design feature. While adding visual depth, they are constructed for comfort and should break in with regular wear, similar to standard sneakers.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While based on a Nike runner silhouette, its primary appeal is its unique design and collector's value. It is best suited for casual wear rather than rigorous athletic activities.

When did this shoe release?

The Nike LDWaffle sacai Undercover Midnight Spruce was released in October of 2021.

What does 'sacai's reconstructive design aesthetic' refer to?

It refers to sacai's signature approach of deconstructing and reconstructing garments and footwear, often involving layering, doubling elements, and combining different materials.

Troubleshooting

Uneven lacing or pressure points

Adjust the lacing pattern, especially around the doubled eyelets, to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.

Suede material looking matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser may be used carefully.

Layers of the shoe feel stiff

Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The materials will naturally conform to your foot over time.
