Two pairs of customized, one-of-a-kind Nike sacai Nylon LDWaffles have just been put up for auction in order to raise funds for COVID-19 relief efforts.

sacai is the latest brand to partner up with La Mode S’engage‘s Fashion Charity Auction, an online auction featuring unique items from a wide array of the world’s most renowned brands and designers. sacai’s founder Chitose Abe has contributed to the auction with two pairs of Nike sacai Nylon LDWaffle in both black and white. These are the same sneakers that released in early March but feature embroidered text on the upper and matching double laces.

“Protege Ton Soignant” is hand-embroidered in a dark blue thread just above the right shoe’s double-stacked, lateral Swooshes. Currently sitting at a price of €10,050 (~$11,000 USD), 100% of proceeds will go towards La Mode S’engage’s Protege Ton Soignant initiative which aims to purchase medical equipment for French caregivers immediately.

Other items being auctioned off currently include 1/1 pieces by Bode, Alyx Studios, Comme des Garcons, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, and more.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
