FAQs

What makes the Nike LDWaffle sacai unique?

Its uniqueness stems from the hybrid design, merging two classic Nike running shoes (LDV and Waffle Racer) into a single, layered silhouette, a signature approach of the sacai collaboration.

What does 'Green Gusto' refer to?

'Green Gusto' is the colorway name, indicating the primary green color of the upper, accented with vibrant orange details.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

No, the Nike LDWaffle sacai is designed as a lifestyle or fashion sneaker and is not intended for athletic performance activities like running.

What materials are used in the 'Green Gusto' version?

The upper is primarily constructed from leather, with textile elements and a rubber sole. Specific accent materials may vary.

How do I clean the dual Swooshes?

Clean the Swooshes gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, similar to the rest of the upper. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

When was the Nike LDWaffle sacai 'Green Gusto' released?

This specific iteration was released in May 2019.

Can I find this shoe in other colors?

Yes, the Nike x sacai LDWaffle has been released in several colorways, including 'Varsity Blue' and other variations.

Troubleshooting

Slight creasing on leather upper

This is a natural characteristic of leather. Wearing the shoes will cause some creasing, which can add to their character. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces.

Dirt on the layered midsole

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the different layers of the midsole. Be careful not to saturate the material.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove the laces and wash them by hand with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Reduced grip on outsole

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Small debris can be removed with a brush. If the rubber appears worn down, the outsole may need professional attention or replacement, though this is uncommon for lifestyle use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, eye-catching hybrid design.
  • High-quality leather construction.
  • Distinctive color palette ('Green Gusto' with orange accents).
  • Collaboration with a respected fashion house (sacai).
  • Comfortable for everyday wear.

Cons

  • May be considered a niche fashion item.
  • Leather material requires specific care to maintain appearance.
  • Limited availability due to its collaborative and release nature.

  • Potential for scuffs on the layered midsole components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a pair of sneakers, the Nike LDWaffle sacai requires no setup. Compatibility is with standard foot sizes and the typical wardrobe of a fashion-conscious individual.

  • Care Instructions:
  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the leather parts, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: The layered midsole and rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials or finish.
  3. Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and moisture.
