Nike LD Waffle sacai Black Nylon

Three materials, everything doubled

The Nike LD Waffle sacai Black Nylon takes a Nike running silhouette and runs it through the sacai workshop, which doubled nearly every element. The upper combines lightweight nylon, suede, and leather, and the whole thing is kept in monochromatic black, so the layers are distinguished up close by texture rather than color. On the side, there are two Swoosh logos, one offset from the other, the tongue is double, and the foam sole with a rubber finish elevates the foot significantly higher than a classic runner.

The black version as the most wearable

Out of the entire LD Waffle family, black is the version easiest to incorporate into everyday outfits: the double construction makes its mark on the silhouette anyway, but doesn't shout with color. The shoes are higher and bulkier than standard sneakers, so they visually shorten the pant leg - they look best with pants that end just above the upper. This model belongs to the Nike Sacai Shoes category, and we have collected neighboring silhouettes from the same shelf in Hype Grail.

Sizing and first outings

The LD Waffle runs a bit longer than standard Nike runners, and the double layers of nylon and suede take up some space in the midfoot. The foot therefore sits securely, but tightly at the start, until the material settles around the instep. For a narrow foot, stick to your size; for a wide foot, consider going up half a size. Available sizes are 40-46 with half sizes; you can check the insole lengths in centimeters in the size guide, and we answer fit questions in the FAQ.

What to wear them with

Black nylon works best with simple, dark sets: black pants slightly tapered at the bottom, a grey sweatshirt, a jacket without prints. The entire weight of the styling then shifts to the sole and the double Swooshes. We check the authenticity of every pair before listing - box, product code, stitching, glue, and sole. There is a 14-day return period, and the cost of return shipping is covered by the buyer. You can find our full range of sneakers in the Shoes category.
