Product Information
Full details
The Nike VaporWaffle Woven, born from a high-fashion collaboration between Nike, sacai, and Jean Paul Gaultier, is designed for fashion-forward adults who appreciate avant-garde footwear and unique architectural design. Its primary benefit is a standout, high-concept aesthetic that merges luxury craftsmanship with iconic sportswear DNA; however, the complex layered construction may require careful styling and maintenance to keep the intricate woven materials looking pristine.

FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
While it features a waffle-lug outsole, this model is designed for lifestyle and fashion purposes rather than athletic performance.
How does the sizing compare to standard Nike trainers?
The VaporWaffle generally fits true to size, but the layered design can make the fit feel slightly more snug than typical mesh runners.
Are the laces functional?
Yes, both sets of laces are fully functional and should be adjusted to ensure proper foot security.
What is the best way to clean the white foam?
Use a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of mild soap, wiping gently in circular motions to avoid damaging the foam finish.
Where can I find branding on the shoe?
You will find co-branding on the tongue and heel, with all three collaborator logos present on the interior insole.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the laces right
The shoe features a dual-lacing system; lace each set independently for a secure fit without over-tightening.
Visible dirt on white woven material
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris before applying a specialized mesh sneaker cleaner.
Creasing on the foam midsole
Foam compression is natural with wear; use a shoe tree when not in use to help the upper keep its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the woven mesh construction, it is essential to keep these sneakers away from sharp objects that could snag the fibers. To maintain the crisp white appearance, treat the shoes with a repellent spray suitable for mesh before first use. If the shoes become soiled, use a soft-bristled brush and a mild, gentle cleaning solution specifically formulated for delicate mesh and foam. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water or using harsh chemicals that could yellow the foam midsole or damage the structural bonding between layers.
