FAQs

What makes the sacai x Nike VaporWaffle unique?

The uniqueness comes from the innovative layered design, merging two classic Nike silhouettes (VaporFly and Air Pegasus) with sacai's distinctive aesthetic, featuring doubled elements like the Swoosh and a stacked midsole.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle sneakers designed for fashion and casual wear. They are not engineered for high-performance athletic activities like running.

How do I clean the stacked midsole?

You can clean the rubber midsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt or scuffs, a magic eraser can be used carefully, but always test in a small area first.

What materials are used in the 'Villain Red' colorway?

This iteration features a combination of mesh and suede materials, with accent colors including String, Black, and Neptune Green.

How should I care for the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush for routine cleaning and specialized suede cleaners for stains. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture.

What does 'SP' stand for in the product name?

'SP' typically stands for 'Special Project,' indicating a limited-edition or collaborative release.

Is this shoe true to size?

While designed to be true to size, the unique construction might lead to a different fit than standard Nike trainers. Trying them on or checking reviews for sizing advice is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces feel stiff or difficult to tie

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Consider replacing with a different style of lace if preferred.

Discomfort on first wear

This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.

Color transfer from suede

This can occur with new suede. It is advisable to protect lighter-colored socks or clothing from potential transfer, especially in damp conditions.
