Our verdict

Building up a sneaker stack that's as steal as the Sacai's without spending much? Scoring Nike Waffle One that's obtainable in multiple color choices could be a good starting point. This fresh recast to the Waffle racer is almost hard to resist, from its see-through mesh webbing to its tasteful color blocking. A caveat though, we found that its comfort level isn't in any way squishy soft as most nike lunar huarache light sp white wire color line.

Who should buy the Nike Waffle One

Apart from users who are buffed by its Sacai-like style, the Nike Waffle One sneaker is also for buyers who:

  • Are looking for a cheaper alternative to the LD Waffle Sacai.
  • Love the Daybreak but find it heavier than expected. The Nike Waffle One is your best stand-in.
  • Are comfortable with well-ventilated sneakers. This model suits their daily rotation.
  • nike free runs women white glitter dress sneakers Waffle sneakers
  • Have wide feet. This model has ample toe box room that can accommodate narrow to wide feet.

Who should NOT buy

If you're into bouncy steps, this iteration might not be the one for you. As our wear tests have shown, the shoe's generic-structured midsole isn't springy at all. Better check the Nike Waffle Debut as an alternative.

The Nike Waffle One can pass as a high-valued kick

We are in love with the hits of authentic suede detailing attached around the shoe's upper instead of the widely used felt-like synthetic material.

An easy-to-chew budget Waffle

Hype-driven sneakers typically come in limited pairs and at steep prices, but not for the Nike Waffle One that's getting so much attention for its close resemblance to Chitose Abe's Sacai masterpieces.

It managed to slip into the hype culture for a price that's totally a bang for the buck, way way less than the VaporWaffle x Sacai and LD Waffle Sacai.

Neck breaking style

Unlike its similar-looking special edition Nike Sacai Waffle, the WFFL1 comes in a wide range of colors. We believe that its hybrid-stacked midsole with a noticeable protruded heel and a remastered Waffle sole make it a prized find among vintage sneaker lovers.

We were so thrilled with how lightweight this sneaker is that all-day walking felt effortless on our legs.

A perfect summer footwear

The shoe's screen mesh wrapping makes it very inert as it permits air to move freely throughout the shoe.

For our medium-width feet, we never experienced any toe squeezing, curling, or cramping with this kick.

Reinforced upper to last longer

We observed that the layer of fabric under the forefoot mesh offered excellent durability, letting us enjoy this kick for an extended period.

Irritating seams

Unfortunately, we were irked by the raw stitching on the collar as it rubbed against our ankles. We highly recommend wearing taller socks to avoid this discomfort.
