FAQs

What makes the Nike x sacai LD Waffle unique?

Its uniqueness stems from the hybrid design, merging the Nike LDV and Waffle Racer, combined with sacai's distinct fashion-forward approach to layering and deconstruction.

When were the Nike LD Waffle Sacai 'Varsity Blue' released?

These sneakers were originally released in May 2019.

Are these suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the LD Waffle is primarily a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. They are not recommended for serious athletic performance or running.

How do I clean the different materials on the shoe?

Use a soft brush for general dirt. For leather, use a damp cloth and leather conditioner. For any mesh or suede elements, use specific cleaners designed for those materials. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the retail price of the Nike x sacai LD Waffle?

The original retail price was $155 USD.

Where can I find other colorways or sizes?

Check the 'variant_siblings' section for other available colorways and sizes. You may also find them on resale marketplaces or specialized sneaker retailers.

Does the shoe fit true to size?

Fit can vary slightly with collaborative models. Many users find them to fit true to size, but the hybrid construction might offer a slightly different feel. Consulting reviews or trying them on is advised if possible.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems slightly off

Collaborative releases can sometimes have unique fits. Consider the hybrid nature of the shoe and the materials used. If purchased online, check the return policy for exchanges.

Creasing on leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing and avoid excessive bending of the toe box.

Laces feel loose or uneven

The LD Waffle often features a layered lacing system. Re-lace the shoes carefully, ensuring even tension on both sets of eyelets and laces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and eye-catching design through the sacai collaboration.
  • High-quality materials for a premium feel and durability.
  • Combines elements of two classic Nike runners for a novel aesthetic.
  • A collectible item for sneaker enthusiasts.

Cons

  • Can be expensive due to its collaborative and limited-release nature.
  • May require specific styling to complement its bold design.
  • Limited availability can make them difficult to acquire.
  • The hybrid design might not appeal to those preferring minimalist aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sneakers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Available in various UK sizes. It's recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible, as collaborative models can sometimes fit differently.
  • Styling: Highly versatile, but the bold design pairs exceptionally well with minimalist or complementary outfits.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing.
  • Material Care: The leather upper can be treated with appropriate leather conditioners to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Suede or mesh components may require specialized cleaners.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe tree to maintain shape and protect from dust.
