Nike / Sacai
LD Waffle Sacai Green Gusto
Sacai and Nike continue their deconstructed vision with the LD Waffle Sacai Green Gusto — a shoe that doubles down on the hybrid aesthetic that made their partnership legendary. Chitose Abe's approach to layering and duplicating creates something entirely new from classic running DNA.
Green Gusto suede and mesh panels overlap across the upper, while dual Swooshes in contrasting colors create Sacai's signature visual tension. The doubled midsole stacks white and cream foam, sitting on a waffle outsole that mirrors the layered approach above. Every seam and overlay feels intentional, turning classic Nike elements into something unmistakably Sacai.
A statement piece for those who understand that innovation comes from reimagining the familiar. Building on the success of previous Waffle iterations, the Green Gusto cements Sacai's place as streetwear's most thoughtful deconstructionist.
