FAQs

What makes the LD Waffle sacai unique?

Its uniqueness comes from the hybrid design, merging two classic Nike silhouettes (LDV and Waffle Racer) and featuring deconstructed elements like dual Swooshes and layered panels.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These sneakers are primarily designed for fashion and casual wear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the Nike sizing chart for accurate measurements. These are listed in UK sizing. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models.

What does 'sacai' refer to?

sacai is a Japanese high-fashion label that collaborated with Nike on this particular shoe design.

Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a soft brush, damp cloth, and mild soap is the appropriate method to preserve the materials and shape.

What are the main colors on the Green Gusto model?

The 'Green Gusto' colorway primarily features green tones on the upper, accented with orange details, and includes both black and orange Nike Swooshes.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper of this specific model is primarily constructed from leather.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to new materials or moisture. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure the insoles are properly seated. A light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe may help.

Color transfer from Swoosh to socks

This is rare but can happen with new shoes. It's advisable to wear darker socks initially. If the issue persists, consider a fabric protector spray designed for footwear, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces become difficult to tighten/loosen

Ensure the laces are not twisted. Smooth them out. If they feel stiff, a very small amount of wax (like a candle stub) can help them glide better, but apply sparingly.
