A Closer Look at the sacai x Nike VaporWaffle "Sail Gum"

After taking a glimpse at the "Off Noir" last month, we're now getting a closer look at the sacai x Nike VaporWaffle "Sail Gum", and it's literally as clean as it gets. First leaked last August, Chitose Abe's upcoming high heat hybrid is perfect for the spring and summer months ahead, and here's absolutely everything that we know so far!

Unlike the four VaporWaffle colourways that dropped in 2020, the "Sail" gum features a waterproof nylon base rather than the Flyknit that we have come to love. Buttery smooth suede makes its way to the lacing system and toebox, while luxurious leather adorns the heel for an extra premium vibe.

Of course, it wouldn't be a sacai x Nike collaboration without the deconstructed touches. From the dual Swooshes along the laterals to the doubled up lacing system and tongue, you'll even find that the midsole has been multiplied by two for an extra chunky aesthetic.

Co-branded detailing graces the back and custom insole, and just below the doubled stacked Waffle sole unit, you'll find a gum rubber outsole that adds a splash of subtle colour to the Nike shoe, perfectly combining classic materials with contemporary design.

Expected to drop in the coming months, the sacai x Nike VaporWaffle "Sail Gum" should not be missed, so make sure you keep it locked at The Sole Supplier for more news as it develops! Let us know if you'll be adding these to your rotation, and while you're here, you might as well take a sneak peek at the sacai x Nike Blazer Low "Wolf Grey"!
