FAQs

What does 'sacai' mean in this collaboration?

sacai is a Japanese fashion label known for its innovative and deconstructed designs. Their collaboration with Nike often involves layering and hybridizing classic silhouettes.

What is the inspiration behind the VaporWaffle design?

The VaporWaffle design merges features from the Nike VaporFly and the classic 1983 Nike Air Pegasus, creating a hybrid silhouette with a unique aesthetic.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by performance shoes, the VaporWaffle is primarily a fashion sneaker designed for casual wear. It is not optimized for high-impact athletic performance like dedicated running shoes.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for spot cleaning. Avoid using water directly on suede, as it can cause staining or damage.

What does the stacked midsole achieve?

The stacked midsole is an aesthetic element that gives the shoe an avant-garde look. It also provides a cushioned and supportive feel for casual wear.

What is the original retail price of these sneakers?

The Nike VaporWaffle sacai Villain Red Neptune Green originally retailed for $170 USD.

What are the main colors in the 'Villain Red Neptune Green' colorway?

The colorway prominently features Villain Red and Neptune Green, with burgundy and green suede overlays on a mesh base, and an off-white midsole.

Troubleshooting

Uneven lacing due to layered tongues

Adjust the lacing carefully, ensuring each layer of the tongue is addressed. The layered effect is intentional; focus on achieving a comfortable, secure fit without over-tightening.

Suede material appears dirty or matted

Use a dry suede brush to restore the nap of the material. For tougher marks, consider a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Midsole feels thicker than expected

The stacked midsole design is a key aesthetic feature. Allow a short break-in period for your feet to adjust to the unique cushioning and profile.
