sacai’s Chitose Abe has created a lane of her own within the Nike catalog. Utilizing the brand’s running heritage and imposing sacai’s visionary design language, the sacai x Nike partnership has surmounted to a series of hits from the LD Waffle and the VaporWaffle. And while sacai has had prior successes and even has its eyes set on something refreshing like the sacai x Nike Cortez collection, the sacai x Nike Waffle series has become a staple in the game.
sacai x Nike has become so engrained within the Nike lineup that other collaborators such as KAWS, CLOT, and others have jumped on the already-established co-creations, resulting in three-part collaborations. After a series of teases and delays, one of the most polarizing and anticipated sacai x Nike collabs is coming soon.
French haute couture brand Jean Paul Gaultier weaves its unconventional designs into the already eye-catching sacai x Nike VaporWaffle. The result is the Jean Paul Gaultier x sacai x Nike VaporWaffle for an unusual leather upper with intricate stitching housed by the enlarged sacai x Nike VaporWaffle sole. Arriving in a predominantly black iteration and a polar opposite multicolor sesame version, the Jean Paul Gaultier x sacai x Nike VaporWaffle is exactly what’d you expect.
The raffle for the Jean Paul Gaultier x sacai x Nike VaporWaffle is open now at Store.sacai.JP and ends on February 17 at 7 a.m. JST; winners will be notified to purchase their pair on February 21. A wider release is not anticipated as of now. Nonetheless, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will prepare members for any potential restocks or a wider release.
