FAQs
What makes the sacai collaboration unique?
The sacai collaboration is characterized by its deconstructed aesthetic, featuring doubled elements like tongues, eyestays, and laces, along with unique material combinations and stacked sole units, all applied to classic Nike silhouettes.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While built on a classic basketball shoe silhouette, the Nike Blazer Low sacai 'Black Patent' is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for style and comfort during everyday wear, not for rigorous athletic activities.
How should I clean the patent leather parts?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution on a damp cloth can be used, followed by drying with a separate clean cloth.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, patent leather can be slippery when wet, and prolonged exposure to moisture is not recommended for preserving the material's condition. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the fit like?
The Nike Blazer Low generally offers a snug fit. Given the collaboration details and materials, it's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts. Many find they fit true to size, but some prefer to go up half a size for a bit more room.
How do I care for the exposed foam on the tongue?
The exposed foam is a design element. Light dusting with a soft brush is usually sufficient. Avoid getting it excessively wet, as this can affect its texture and appearance.
What does 'sacai' mean in this context?
sacai is a Japanese fashion label founded by Chitose Abe, known for its innovative and avant-garde approach to clothing design, often involving reconstruction and hybrid pieces. This collaboration brings sacai's unique design philosophy to Nike footwear.
Troubleshooting
Patent leather appears dull or smudged
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For a slight sheen, a small amount of specialized patent leather cleaner or a gentle shoe polish can be used sparingly, followed by buffing with a soft cloth.
Creasing on patent leather
Creasing is a natural characteristic of patent leather with wear. To minimize its appearance, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. Store them with shoe trees if possible.
Dual lacing system feels cumbersome
Adjust the tension of both sets of laces to find a comfortable balance, or opt to only use one set of laces for a cleaner look and simpler adjustment.

Care:
- Cleaning Patent Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the patent finish.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect the materials and maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent discoloration of the patent leather.
