FAQs

What is the Nike x sacai LDWaffle 'Green Gusto'?

It's a collaborative sneaker released by Nike and Japanese fashion label sacai. It creatively fuses two iconic Nike running shoe models: the LDV and the Waffle Racer, resulting in a unique, layered aesthetic.

What makes this shoe unique compared to standard Nike releases?

The collaboration with sacai brings a deconstructed and reconstructed design philosophy. Key unique features include the double Swoosh logos, double tongue details, and the hybrid silhouette combining two classic models.

What materials are used in the Nike x sacai LDWaffle?

The 'Green Gusto' colorway primarily features a leather upper, complemented by other materials that contribute to its layered and textured appearance.

How should I clean my LDWaffle sacai sneakers?

Clean the leather parts with a soft, damp cloth. Use a soft brush for suede or mesh areas. Avoid immersing the shoes in water and allow them to air dry naturally.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the Nike x sacai LDWaffle is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It's best suited for casual wear and not recommended for athletic performance activities.

What was the original retail price?

The Nike LDWaffle sacai 'Green Gusto' originally retailed for $155 USD upon its release in May 2019.

Can I find other colorways or sizes?

Yes, the Nike x sacai LDWaffle line has been released in multiple colorways and a range of sizes. Availability varies depending on the reseller market.

Troubleshooting

Laces do not match the product images.

Some releases may include optional extra laces that are not pre-laced. Check the shoe box for additional lace options.

Uneven stitching or slight imperfections.

As a fashion-forward, deconstructed design, slight variations in stitching or material placement are characteristic of the sacai collaboration and not considered defects.

Color transfer from laces to the shoe.

New laces, especially dyed ones, can sometimes transfer color. Avoid prolonged contact with wet surfaces or direct rubbing until the laces are broken in.
