A Round Up Of The sacai x Nike VaporWaffles Dropping This Year

If you thought that 2021 was leaving the sacai x Nike VaporWaffle behind, then you were mistaken. Mock ups of the sacai x Nike spring 2021 line up were unveiled by Instagram sneaker insider, @py_rates, last August, but only recently have we been able to take a closer look of some of the VaporWaffles we can expect to see emerge later on this year.

Below, we can see detailed images of the 'Dark Iris/Campfire Orange' iteration that is set to hit retailers this spring. As with the other sacai Vaporwaffles that landed back in the autumn, this Nike sneaker possesses layered laces, doubled-up Swooshes on the medial and lateral sidewalls, as well as dual branding on the two-tongue design. An extremely chunky midsole also features in white and cream, curling up the back of the heel in usual VaporWaffle fashion.

Furthermore, images have been released by @leaked.sneaks of the the sacai x Nike VaporWaffle 'Off-Noir': a triple-black iteration that is much more subdued than the colourway aforementioned. A nylon upper dressed with pitch-black suede overlays proves that this Nike VaporWaffle is going to be the one to cop when it releases. Completed with a gum outsole, this is an extremely clean sneaker that retains all the features we've seen on those sacai x Nikes with bolder colour palettes, but in a much more understated fashion. No release date has been announced yet for this particular colourway, but keep it locked to The Sole Supplier to be the first to find out when and where you'll be able to cop!

Official images emerged of the 'Sesame' colourway back in October via @koala_hsh, amongst others, and oh my, this release cannot come soon enough! The 'Blue Void' accents across the midsole, Swoosh and heel panel add an extra element of desire to this sneaker, especially paired with the mixture of materials used across the upper. Leather, suede and canvas all make for the perfect combination on this chunky trainer.

Images have further surfaced showing one of the cleanest Nike VaporWaffles to date! The sacai x Nike VaporWaffle 'Sail/Gum' has been unveiled on Instagram, once again by @leaked.sneaks, to be releasing alongside the triple-black colourway aforementioned. The double Swoosh on this crisp, clean VaporWaffle is extremely subtle, with only a very light shadow being visible on the medial and lateral sidewalls mis-aligned from the main event.

We absolutely cannot wait for these sacai x Nike VaporWaffles to drop! Chitose Abe's legendary collaboration with the Oregon-born brand has absolutely outdone itself this time around: we can only dream of what the future holds!
