FAQs
What does 'sacai' refer to in the product name?
'sacai' refers to the Japanese fashion brand that collaborated with Nike on this sneaker model, known for its deconstructed and layered aesthetic.
What is the main material of the upper?
The upper primarily features a Sail nylon base, complemented by light grey suede overlays and tumbled leather Nike Swooshes.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a soft suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, and consider applying a suede protectant spray for future prevention.
Is this shoe suitable for running or athletic training?
While comfortable for everyday wear and walking, the Nike VaporWaffle sacai is primarily a fashion sneaker. It is not designed for intense athletic activities or running.
What is the significance of the doubled tongues and Swooshes?
These doubled elements are a signature design feature of the sacai collaboration, reflecting the brand's ethos of reconstruction and layering.
What was the original retail price and release date?
The Nike VaporWaffle sacai Sail Gum was released in March 2022 with a retail price of $180.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Nylon upper shows light scuffs
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the fabric.
Gum outsole looks discolored
Try cleaning the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent discoloration, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging other parts of the shoe.
Shoe feels slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The stacked foam midsole will naturally mold to your foot over time with regular wear.

Care:
