FAQs

What makes the Nike LD Waffle sacai unique?

The uniqueness comes from its hybrid design, merging the iconic Nike LDV and Waffle Racer silhouettes, combined with the distinctive dual Swoosh branding and the collaborative effort between Nike and Japanese label sacai.

What material is the Nike LD Waffle sacai Varsity Blue made of?

The primary material is leather, contributing to its durability and premium feel.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

No, the Nike LD Waffle sacai is designed for lifestyle and fashion wear, not for athletic performance like running.

What does 'Varsity Blue' refer to in the name?

Varsity Blue refers to the specific colorway of this iteration, which features a red upper with blue accents, yellow and silver Swooshes, a white midsole, and a black sole.

When were these sneakers originally released?

The Nike LD Waffle sacai sneakers, including this colorway, were released in May 2019.

Are extra laces always included?

The product description notes that extra black laces may or may not be included, so it's not guaranteed.

How can I clean my leather sneakers?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Can I find this shoe in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Nike x sacai LDWaffle series was released in multiple colorways (like Green Gusto) and sizes, including adult and children's options. Availability of specific variants may vary.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole or to any areas where friction might be causing the sound. Ensure insoles are properly seated.

Color transfer from upper to socks

Especially with darker dyes on leather, some color transfer can happen initially. This is more common if the shoes get wet. Wear darker socks until the issue subsides. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Uneven wear on soles

Check your gait and ensure you are not applying uneven pressure. Proper fit is crucial; a size too large or small can contribute to uneven wear. Rotate shoes if you wear them frequently.

Leather creasing

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure the shoes fit correctly and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain their shape.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Suede Care: If any suede elements are present, use a suede brush to maintain texture and remove surface dirt.
  3. Soles: The rubber soles can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed with soap and water.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to maintain their shape and prevent fading. Consider using shoe trees to preserve form.
