Nike / Sacai
Vaporwaffle Sacai Sail Gum
Sacai and Nike continue their deconstructed design language with the Vaporwaffle Sail Gum — a hybrid silhouette that merges running heritage with Chitose Abe's signature layered aesthetic. This iteration strips back to essentials while maintaining the double-everything DNA that defines the collaboration.
Sail mesh and suede panels create the foundation, with layered Swooshes and doubled midsoles giving the shoe its unmistakable profile. The Gum rubber outsole grounds the neutral palette, while exposed foam tongues and dual lacing systems showcase Sacai's commitment to visible construction details.
A quieter colorway that lets the innovative silhouette speak first — built for those who appreciate technical design over loud statements. The Sail Gum proves that groundbreaking collaborations don't always need bold colors to make an impact.
