FAQs

What is the primary inspiration behind the Nike x sacai VaporWaffle?

The design is a fusion of two iconic Nike running silhouettes: the VaporFly and the 1983 Air Pegasus, reimagined with sacai's signature layered aesthetic.

What materials are used in the Nike x sacai VaporWaffle SP?

The upper is constructed from a combination of mesh and suede, providing both breathability and a premium textural feel.

How should I clean the suede portions of the shoe?

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first and avoid over-wetting the material.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by performance shoes, the Nike x sacai VaporWaffle is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for comfort and style during everyday wear, not for intense athletic training.

What does 'Villain Red Neptune Green' refer to?

This refers to the specific colorway of the sneaker, featuring dominant 'Villain Red' tones complemented by 'Neptune Green' accents and other contrasting colors.

What is the significance of the double detailing (Swooshes, tongues)?

The layered or doubled elements, such as the Swoosh logos and tongues, are a hallmark of sacai's design philosophy, reflecting a deconstructed and reassembled aesthetic.

Where was this colorway originally shown?

The 'Villain Red Neptune Green' colorway originally debuted as part of sacai’s Fall 2020 Menswear runway show.

Troubleshooting

Suede discoloration or staining

Address stains immediately with a suede eraser or specialized cleaner. For prevention, consider using a suede protector spray, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Midsole yellowing over time

This can be a natural aging process for some materials. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth may help. Avoid harsh chemicals that can accelerate yellowing.

Creasing on the upper

Creasing is a natural occurrence with wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Nike x sacai VaporWaffle SP:

  • Cleaning Mesh & Midsole: Wipe the mesh upper and the midsole with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and prevent creasing. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
