How do the LDV and Waffle Racer silhouettes combine?

Are these trainers suitable for running?

What is the significance of the sacai collaboration?

sacai is a Japanese fashion label known for its innovative and deconstructed designs. The collaboration with Nike brings a high-fashion, avant-garde perspective to classic Nike silhouettes, creating highly sought-after collectible items.

How do I clean the layered Swoosh?

Clean the layered Swoosh gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could damage the layers or finish. For more detailed cleaning, use a soft brush and a mild soap solution, then wipe with a damp cloth.

What does 'MPN' stand for?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. It is a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to a specific product, in this case, BV0073-001 for the Nike LDWaffle sacai 'Black'.

Where were these trainers originally released?

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Compare with other Nike trainers you own. If still uncomfortable, consider professional fitting advice or consult sizing charts.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar style or material. Consider thicker, more durable laces for extended wear.

Sole separation starting

For minor separation, a specialized shoe repair adhesive can be used. For significant separation, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.

Color transfer onto socks

This can sometimes occur with darker dyes. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wear. Limit wear in very wet conditions. This issue may reduce over time with wear.
