FAQs

What makes the Nike LDWaffle sacai Undercover unique?

The uniqueness comes from its signature sacai design aesthetic, featuring doubled tongues, laces, Swooshes, and soles, combined with the distinct styling of both sacai and Undercover.

What materials are used in the Night Maroon colorway?

The upper is constructed primarily from Night Maroon nylon, complemented by royal blue leather Swooshes and grey hairy suede overlays.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and cushioning, they are not intended for high-intensity sports or professional athletic activities.

What is the release date and original retail price?

The Nike LDWaffle sacai Undercover Night Maroon was released in October 2021 with a retail price of $170.

How should I clean the different materials on the shoe?

Nylon should be cleaned with mild soap and water. Leather requires a specific leather cleaner. Suede should be brushed or cleaned with a suede eraser. Avoid machine washing.

What does 'sacai's reconstructive design aesthetic' mean?

It refers to sacai's approach of deconstructing and reconstructing garments and footwear, often by doubling or layering elements to create a unique, hybrid look. In this shoe, it's seen in the multiple layers of tongues, overlays, and the double-stacked sole.

Are there other colorways or collaborations available?

Yes, the LDWaffle series has seen multiple collaborations and colorways released over time, often featuring similar design principles.

Troubleshooting

Dirt on suede areas.

Use a dedicated suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner may be required.

Laces becoming worn or dirty.

Laces can be carefully removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried. Replacement laces can be purchased if necessary.

Slight creasing on leather parts.

This is natural with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape.

Discoloration on nylon upper.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the shoe is fully dry before storage.
