FAQs
What makes the Nike x sacai LD Waffle unique?
Its uniqueness stems from the hybrid design merging two classic Nike runners (LDV and Waffle Racer) with sacai's signature layered and deconstructed aesthetic, featuring dual Swooshes and an exaggerated sole.
What is the primary purpose of this shoe?
The Nike x sacai LD Waffle is primarily a lifestyle sneaker, designed for fashion and casual wear rather than high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean my LD Waffles?
Clean them using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing and always air dry.
Are these shoes comfortable for extended wear?
Yes, the hybrid design and cushioned sole offer good comfort for everyday walking and casual use, though they may require a short break-in period.
What does 'sacai' refer to?
sacai is a Japanese high-fashion label founded by Chitose Abe, known for its innovative and deconstructed designs, which collaborated with Nike on this sneaker.
What is the original retail price?

Can I wear these for running?

Troubleshooting
Uneven lacing
The layered eyelets may cause lacing to appear uneven. Adjust the laces slowly, ensuring each loop is pulled through consistently. The design intentionally features overlapping elements.
Sole feels stiff initially
The exaggerated sole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
Material scuffing
Be mindful of the layered materials, especially around the mudguards and Swooshes, as they can be prone to scuffs. Clean gently with a damp cloth and consider protective sprays for added durability.
