Revolutionizing the sneaker scene: ⁉︎ The new Nike ISPA covers all fields.

NIKEISPA is one of the most experimental expressions of design in the history of the ISPA brand: Improvise, Scavenge, Protect, and Adapt. Under these four philosophies, ISPA has continued to create innovative products that fit into the daily lives of urban dwellers.

ISPA also focuses on Nike Design Exploration (NdE), a design concept that utilizes athlete data and digital design. Nike's extensive knowledge of the body's movement, new creative styles that draw on tradition, and innovative perspectives combine to create experimental silhouettes that can be worn daily.

The new ISPA models will be released on July 10 (Friday). The lineup includes many items with functional and bold silhouettes that can be adapted to any field. Let's take a look at them right away.

Nike ISPA Zoom Road Warrior ¥55,000 in TAX

First, the Nike ISPA Zoom Road Warrior combines innovations from running, basketball, training, and outdoor footwear. The design of the heel, which seems to float in mid-air, is based on a prototype of the Nike Shox. The midsole, with Zoom Air and plates, is based on the Nike Air Zoom Alpha Fly Next% and Nike Air Zoom BB NXT.

In addition, the knit material upper, which is a fusion of training and outdoor design, provides a solid sense of hold and breathability. This is a pair for active people who can handle agile movements.

Nike ISPA Overreact Flyknit ¥21,450 in TAX

Next up is the Nike ISPA Overact Flyknit. As the name suggests, it is equipped with "React Cushioning Technology," which is all about cushioning, energy return, and durability. In addition, by referring to data on foot pressure and foot movement, cushioning and material combinations are configured in optimal locations to create ISPA's unique comfort. In addition, the insole and strobel component of the shoe have been removed to allow the user to directly feel the "Nike React Foam". The opening and closing system that enables smooth on/off is also a key point.

The upper, which utilizes the Nike Flyknit manufacturing method, is made in a sustainable manner by mixing some of Nike's leftover yarn with the upper. The knitting process reuses the program used in past footwear production, so the look changes depending on the leftover yarn. The finished product is friendly to both feet and the environment.

Nike ISPA Overreact Sandals ¥19,250 in TAX

The Nike ISPA Overreact Sandal will be most useful in the coming months. It is made with the same approach as the aforementioned "Nike ISPA Zoom Road Warrior," but with a simplified construction, making it lighter and cooler.

While eliminating waste, the material layering of the upper, which is typical of ISPA, provides perfect robustness. These sandals can be relied on in outdoor situations.

Nike ISPA Flow 2020 ¥23,650 in TAX

Athletes are passionate about cutting down to the smallest gram. Like these athletes, the Nike ISPA Flow 2020 was created in pursuit of how to reduce elements to the bare essentials. The most notable feature is the hole in the outsole. This allows for lightness and breathability with less material.

The upper, developed in collaboration with generative design engineers, is also noteworthy. This is the coolest shoe in ISPA's history, created in the most "geeky" way possible.

Nike ISPA Drifter ¥24,200 in TAX

Last but not least is the Nike ISPA Drifter. The design source for the upper, which has an independent thumb, is the traditional Japanese Tabi Shoes. Underneath the upper is a lightweight and flexible foam. The material also includes the Nike Zoom X Foam, which is also found in Nike's fastest running shoe, the Nike Zoom X Vaporfly Next %.

In addition, the outer webbing secures the hold between the foot and the shoe. This footwear is unique to ISPA, with two adjustment spots for laces.

This season's ISPAs, with their unique design, use of unique materials, and outstanding functionality, are sure to bring a breath of fresh air to the sneaker scene.
