FAQs
What makes the sacai collaboration unique?
The sacai collaboration is characterized by its 'reconstruction and abstraction' aesthetic, evident in elements like doubled tongues, doubled Swooshes, and layered design principles.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer comfort and support for casual wear, the Nike VaporWaffle sacai are primarily lifestyle sneakers and not designed for high-performance running.
How do I clean the doubled tongues?
The doubled tongues are typically made of nylon and foam. Clean them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, similar to the nylon upper. Allow them to air dry completely.
What is the retail price of the Nike VaporWaffle sacai Black Gum?
The Nike VaporWaffle sacai Black Gum originally retailed for $180 USD upon its release in March 2022.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The nylon upper offers some resistance, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Suede materials can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What materials are used in the shoe?
The shoe features a black nylon upper, monochromatic suede overlays, tumbled leather Swooshes, a foam midsole, and a gum rubber outsole.
How does the sizing run?
These are adult-sized shoes. It is generally recommended to purchase your usual Nike sneaker size. However, individual fit can vary.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner or eraser.
Nylon upper feels stiff.
This is normal for new nylon. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. Avoid excessive moisture which can alter the nylon's texture.
Gum sole leaves marks on certain surfaces.
This is a characteristic of gum rubber soles. It is recommended to be mindful of the surfaces you walk on, especially indoors.
Laces are difficult to adjust.
Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets correctly. Try loosening them completely before re-tying for a more comfortable fit.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Nylon Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
- Cleaning Suede Overlays: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used.
- Cleaning Leather Swooshes: Wipe with a damp cloth. Leather conditioner can be used periodically to maintain suppleness.
- Cleaning Midsoles and Outsoles: Wipe with a damp cloth. A non-abrasive cleaner can be used for stubborn marks on the midsole. The gum outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape during drying.
