The three-way collaboration is certainly bang on-trend at the moment, and coincidentally the upcoming UNDERCOVER x sacai x Nike LDWaffle that consists of three colourways (“Bright Citron”, “Red/Blue” and “Purple Blue”) has just been given an official release date. The pack comes directly after a similar effort that involved CLOT, however this time it’s Jun Takahashi’s famous label that teams up with Chitose Abe and the Swoosh label.
All three colourways sit perfectly well on the now iconic LDWaffle silhouette that’s based off of early prototypes crafted by Bill Bowerman, one of Nike’s co-founders. The unique-looking outsole shape was initially the product of Bowerman experimenting with his wife’s waffle iron in order to improve outsole grip.
Plenty of different panels reside on the upper and are crafted from leather, suede and even mesh. The most noticeable characteristic of these sneakers is the doubling of key details, including the Swoosh logos, tongues, laces and even the midsole. Three-way branding appears at both the tongues and heel tabs, while the exaggerated midsole unit conceals plenty of cushioning to make sure these are as comfortable as they are stylish.
If you’ve had the UNDERCOVER x sacai x Nike LDWaffles on your radar for some time, then the good news is that you can start entering raffles for the pairs soon, as all three are set to release on October 29th via select retailers and the Nike SNKRS app. Make sure to keep it locked in right here for all the latest on this release and so many more, and while you’re here check out our favourite October sneaker releases from over the years!
