The Sacai x Nike VaporWaffle "Off Noir” is a monochromatic black colorway of the collaboration between Chitose Abe’s high fashion brand and Nike on the silhouette that combines elements of the Nike VaporFly and Pegasus ‘83. The Sacai co-designed VaporWaffle was originally released in 2020 and offers a high fashion-meets-sportswear aesthetic that’s central to Sacai and Nike’s footwear collaborations. On the “Off Noir,” the shoe is constructed with a black nylon base with tonal suede overlays on the toe cap and eyelets. Like Sacai and Nike’s previous collaborations, the design features a “double-layered” approach that essentially does everything in “twos.” This includes two Swooshes on either side, two pairs of black shoelaces, and stacked nylon tongues with dual Sacai and Nike detailing on the tongue tag. Dual Sacai and Nike insignia appear in black text on the white leather heel tab. The look is finished off with a stacked midsole that splits at the heel. Release date: March 10, 2022
