Michael Le Unlike sacai‘s earlier collaborations — i.e. the laceless Dunk High and Air Max 90 — their LDWaffle, Blazer, and Vaporwaffle have created legacies of their own, offering up much more than a single colorway. The LDWaffle even made a star-studded return long after its debut, teaming up with many of the designer’s equally notable peers; this was then followed by a partnership with KAWS, whose inimitable sense for color was translated beautifully across the Blazer Low. Soon, even the Vaporwaffle will make yet another appearance, and the upcoming “Off Noir” and “Sail” make-ups may signal the end of the shoe’s run.
Though opposites tonally, the two make-ups share the same improvements to their construction. Gone are the thinner, more breathable mesh panels, each replaced by a robust leather through the base. Suedes, then, accent both the toe and eye stays, while the dual laces offer both standard and ribbon-like string. Color-wise, the “Sail” is a mix of white and cream, with gum bottoms dressing underfoot; “Off Noir” makes use of the same tread, though the upper and midsole are entirely painted black.
Both the “Off Noir” and “Sail” will be available on March 10th, hitting both select retailers and likely Nike SNKRS.
