Sneaker customizer Ant Kai has crafted a custom pair of sacai x Nike LDWaffle “Boro” inspired by traditional Japanese Sashiko stitching found on previous official releases such as with the Air Force 1 and Air Jordan 4. Building upon a pair of all-white sacai x Nike LDWaffles as the base, Kai stitched crosses on the toe box, dashes on the side panels, and waves across the lateral swooshes. Overlaid fabrics were taken from thrifted denim and white fabrics were sourced from a Japanese fabric store. Additional details include dyed blue outsoles, aged double-stack midsoles, and custom tongue tags.

Kai’s Nike x Sacai “Boro” on display were his first pair of customs and he will be crafting additional pairs for those interested — potentially on different silhouettes. Head over to his website and socials to view more of his works.
