FAQs

What makes the Nike LDWaffle sacai unique?

The uniqueness comes from its hybrid design, merging two classic Nike runners, and the deconstructed aesthetic with doubled-up elements like the Swoosh and tongue, a signature of the sacai collaboration.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Nike LDWaffle sacai is designed as a lifestyle sneaker for fashion and casual wear, not for athletic performance like running.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

This model generally fits true to size. It is recommended to consult Nike's official size guide or compare with other Nike trainers you own. The UK 4 size corresponds to a specific foot measurement.

What does 'sacai' bring to this collaboration?

sacai, a Japanese fashion label, brings a high-fashion, avant-garde design perspective, focusing on innovative construction and a distinctive aesthetic.

Where were these sneakers released?

The Nike LDWaffle sacai initially released in May 2019, with various colorways appearing in subsequent drops.

How do I clean the different materials on the shoe?

Use a soft brush for suede/mesh and a damp cloth with mild soap for leather. Ensure all cleaning agents are suitable for the specific material and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try dusting the inside sole with talcum powder or checking for any loose insoles.

Color transfer from orange accents

If the orange accents rub off on socks or light-colored clothing, ensure the shoes are completely dry and avoid prolonged contact with damp materials. A leather sealant might help.

Creasing on leather upper

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
