In the vibrant world of fashion and streetwear, a bold collaboration emerges as the event of the end of 2023. Jean Paul Gaultier, the haute couture icon, joins forces with Chitose Abe of Sacai and Nike to create a masterpiece that fuses elegance with urban attitude. This collaboration, embodied by the Vaporwaffle Nike x Sacai x Jean Paul Gaultier, is set to redefine trends by injecting a dose of haute couture into the dynamic world of streetwear, following a successful collaboration in 2021.

The Vaporwaffle sneakers embody the spirit of haute couture with a technological woven overlay. Mesh, leather, suede, and nylon blend together in perfect alchemy, creating a unique aesthetic inspired by both the world of fashion and haute couture.

Sharp Details: The discerning eye will recognize Chitose Abe’s signature in these creations. The subtle play of double elements – sole, swoosh logo, lacing – reflects the distinct artistic approach of the Japanese designer. The double tongues, accentuated with orange, add a contemporary touch to these sneakers already infused with couture tradition.

From Minimalism to a Burst of Color: The collection offers two distinct versions. One, embracing subtlety, features shades of white and gray, emphasizing timeless elegance. The other, bold and vibrant, unveils a patchwork of vivid colors such as yellow, green, blue, orange, and burgundy, creating an explosion of style.

Five-Star Co-Branding: The seal of this exceptional collaboration is proudly displayed. The distinctive logos of the three brands appear on the double tongues and the back of the shoe, sealing this remarkable union between haute couture, avant-garde creativity, and Nike’s iconic legacy.
