What does 'sacai' refer to in the product name?

Troubleshooting
Patent leather appears dull or has minor scuffs.
Use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth to restore shine. For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a microfiber cloth.
Tongue or laces feel stiff.
The doubled tongue and unique lacing system are part of the design. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Over time and with wear, they will naturally soften.
Sizing feels slightly off.
Consider the unique construction. If feeling tight, ensure laces are loosened appropriately. If still uncomfortable, consider the use of thinner socks or exploring alternative sizes if available.
Color transfer from laces or other materials.
This is rare with quality materials but can occur. If noted, try to clean the affected area immediately with a suitable cleaner for the shoe's material. Ensure socks worn do not have excessive dye.

Care:
