The Drop
The LD Waffle sacai CLOT Kiss of Death in Net Orange Blaze is a triple-threat collab that merges Nike's retro runner DNA with sacai's deconstructed aesthetic and CLOT's Hong Kong streetwear pedigree. The "Kiss of Death" branding nods to CLOT's iconic rose motif, while the Net Orange Blaze colorway delivers a bold, sunset-gradient punch across sacai's signature double-layered midsole and split swoosh construction. This isn't your standard sacai Waffle—it's eine Limited Edition mit echtem Sammlerwert.
Resell Verdict
Fair market sits around $204, but the spread is wild—recent asks range from $104 to $476 depending on size and condition. With 56 weekly orders, there's consistent flip activity, though prices have cooled from initial hype. This is a stable hold with modest upside for rare sizes; quick flips at retail margins are tough unless you snag a deal under $150. Long-term potential hinges on CLOT collabs gaining broader recognition outside Asia-based collectors.
Fake Tells
- ▸Double swoosh layering: Reps often misalign the stacked swooshes or use wrong stitch density
- ▸Midsole foam texture: Authentic pairs have uneven, hand-cut edges; fakes look too clean and uniform
- ▸CLOT rose embroidery: Check thread quality on the heel tab—bootlegs use flatter, shinier thread
Who It's For
Collectors chasing sacai's full Waffle lineage or CLOT devotees hunting rare Asia-exclusive drops. Best worn with cropped pants to showcase the chaotic midsole stacking—strictly Sneakerhead-Flexing, not beaters.
Sizing & Fit
Runs true to size, but the double tongue and layered construction create a snugger midfoot—half-size up if you prefer breathing room.
