MORE UPDATE 14/05/19: The Sacai X Nike LDWaffle finally gets a release date, on the 23rd of May. Get set, get ready, on Nike.com.
UPDATE: The Sacai X Nike LDWaffle has been indefinitely postponed as listings were taken out of Nike.com. Stay tuned for more updates.
We’ve all seen the pictures. Some of you may have drooled over them and some may have questioned its odd form, but its undeniable that in the long list of collabs, nothing quite like this has never been made before.
Usually, when it came to combining two models into one, the logical way would be to take key highlights and features of both silhouettes to create a new one. But Chitose Abe had a slightly different approach. What he had in mind, was literally combine two silhouettes, overlapping each other, to create a literal hybrid of a silhouette.
The models in question then, were the Nike Waffle Racer and LDV combined with almost double of everything, double swoosh, double tongue, and faux double lacing. There’s plenty to go about in the way of colours, as the LDWaffle (as its otherwise known), utilises a palette reminiscent of the classic runners that Nike used to make.
For the midsole, both designs are combined together to create quite an exaggerated shape, that is uniquely distinct in form than practically anything else on the market. Combined Nike X Sacai branding is present on the heel tab and insole to round up the silhouette.
The Nike X Sacai LDWaffle will release on 7th of March at Nike.com for a price of approximately RM 650. Best gather all your luck for this pair.
