FAQs

What makes the Nike LD Waffle sacai special?

The Nike LD Waffle sacai is a special release due to its hybrid design, merging two classic Nike running silhouettes (LDV and Waffle Racer), and its collaboration with the Japanese fashion label sacai, resulting in a unique aesthetic and premium feel.

What is the primary material of the Nike LD Waffle sacai Green Gusto?

The primary material for the upper of the Nike LD Waffle sacai Green Gusto is leather, complemented by other materials for accents and structure.

When were these sneakers originally released?

These Nike LD Waffle sacai sneakers were originally released in May 2019.

Are extra laces always included?

The product description notes that extra black laces may or may not be included, so their presence can vary.

What is the difference between the LDV and Waffle Racer elements?

The LDV elements typically refer to the slimmer profile and toe box, while the Waffle Racer contributes the distinctive Waffle-patterned outsole and a more robust heel design. The sacai collaboration layers these elements distinctively.

Can I wear these for athletic activities?

While inspired by running shoes, the Nike LD Waffle sacai is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for fashion and casual wear. They are not recommended for intense athletic training.

What does 'Green Gusto' refer to?

'Green Gusto' refers to the specific colorway of this model, characterized by green as the dominant color with contrasting orange accents.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try to identify if the sound is coming from the sole, laces, or insoles. Loosening or re-tying laces might help. If it persists and is from the sole, it may be a manufacturing anomaly.

Color transfer from green/orange accents

This is a potential risk with dyed materials. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored clothing or surfaces, especially when the shoes are new or wet. Allow shoes to air out before wearing if a strong color scent is present.

Uneven stitching or glue marks

Minor imperfections in stitching or small glue marks can sometimes be present in mass-produced footwear, particularly in collaboration models. These are usually aesthetic and do not affect performance. If significant, contact the retailer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a conditioning product.
  • Suede/Mesh Accents: If your pair includes suede or mesh, use a soft brush or a specialized cleaner for these materials.
  • Midsole/Outsole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
  • Laces: The laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild detergent if needed.
  • Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
