Troubleshooting

Laces become untied easily

Ensure laces are double-knotted. Consider replacing with different lace material if slipping is persistent.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Midsole shows scuff marks

Gently clean the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Care:

To maintain the appearance of your Nike Vaporwaffle sacai, spot clean the mesh, leather, and suede components with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth.
