FAQs

What makes the Nike x sacai VaporWaffle unique?

The uniqueness comes from sacai's signature deconstructed and layered design approach, featuring doubled tongues, doubled Swooshes, and a stacked midsole, creating an avant-garde aesthetic.

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic activities?

While they incorporate athletic-inspired design elements and offer comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for fashion and casual wear, not for intense athletic training.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper features a combination of black nylon with monochromatic suede overlays and tumbled leather Swooshes.

What does the 'Black Gum' colorway refer to?

It refers to the shoe's primary color scheme, featuring a black upper and details, paired with a classic gum-colored rubber outsole.

Is the sizing consistent with other Nike shoes?

Sizing can vary slightly between models. It is recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible, though this model generally fits true to size for its intended fit.

What is the main benefit of the stacked foam midsole?

The stacked foam midsole provides enhanced cushioning and a unique visual profile, contributing to both comfort during wear and the shoe's distinctive look.

Troubleshooting

Dirt on nylon upper

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap diluted in water and a soft cloth, then wipe with a clean damp cloth.

Scuffs on suede overlays

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface marks. For deeper scuffs, specialized suede eraser or cleaner may be needed, always spot-test first.

Laces become dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Reduced grip on outsole

Clean the gum outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.
