After the great success of the sneaker « LD Waffle », and the release of the « Mid Blazer », the partnership between the Tokyo-based haute couture brand SACAI and the giant NIKE continues. The Japanese designer Chitose Abe continues to play on duality and expands her design philosophy by presenting a new model called Nike x Sacai « Vaporwaffle ».
This silhouette, unveiled at the Paris Fashion Week 2020, should be available in 4 colorways. Today, it’s the « Sail/Light Bone-Game Royal-Sport Fuchsia » which is proposed to us.
The upper consists of mesh and suede in cream colour. On this pair with a destructured design playing on superimpositions, we find a double Swoosh, one in leather and the other in black, which looks like it has been spray painted over. This model also features a duo of two-tone branding labels on the tongue as well as a double black and white lacing. The whole is based on a sole divided into several layers, with the blue intermediate part of the sole accentuating the originality of the pair. The black « waffle » outsole completes the design.
The NIKE x SACAI VAPORWAFFLE « Sail/ Light Bone-Game Royal-Sport Fuchsia » will be available this summer at selected retailers and on Nike.com
The price is 180€.
