FAQs

What makes the Nike x sacai LDWaffle unique?

The Nike x sacai LDWaffle is unique because it's a hybrid of two classic Nike runners (LDV and Waffle Racer) and features sacai's signature deconstructed design approach, including double lacing, double Swooshes, and stacked midsoles.

What does the 'Green Gusto' colorway look like?

The 'Green Gusto' colorway features a prominent green base, accented with contrasting orange details, a secondary black Swoosh, a white midsole, and a black outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic activities?

No, the Nike x sacai LDWaffle is designed as a lifestyle sneaker. While comfortable for walking, it is not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running.

What materials are used in the Nike x sacai LDWaffle?

The primary material used for the upper is leather, contributing to its premium look and durability. It may also incorporate other materials like mesh or suede depending on the specific version.

How should I clean and care for my LDWaffles?

Clean with a damp cloth for general dirt. Use specific leather cleaners for the leather parts and appropriate brushes/cleaners for suede or mesh. Always air dry away from heat.

When were these sneakers originally released?

The Nike x sacai LDWaffle "Green Gusto" was originally released in May 2019.

What is the sizing like for these sneakers?

These sneakers generally follow standard Nike sizing. However, as they are a fashion item, it's always recommended to check specific sizing charts or try them on if possible, especially given the unique construction.

Troubleshooting

Laces becoming worn or dirty

Clean laces with mild soap and water, or replace them with a new pair of similar length and color.

Leather creasing or showing signs of wear

This is natural with leather. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and to minimize the appearance of minor creases. Store properly to maintain shape.

Soles accumulating dirt

Wipe the soles with a damp cloth after wear. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water mixture.

Discoloration on fabric elements

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a color-restoring product specifically for footwear.
