FAQs

What does 'ISPA' stand for?

ISPA stands for Improvise, Scavenge, Protect, and Adapt. It's a Nike design philosophy focused on creating solutions for everyday challenges through innovative and sustainable design.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are not explicitly waterproof. While the materials offer some natural resistance, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Proper care and potentially a waterproofing spray can offer some protection.

What is the main benefit of the split-toe design?

The split-toe design is inspired by traditional Japanese footwear and aims to allow for more natural toe splay and foot movement, potentially enhancing comfort and ground feel during casual activities.

How do I clean the cork heel clip?

The cork heel clip can typically be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this could damage the cork material.

What is the sizing like for these trainers?

These trainers are generally considered true to size. However, due to the unique split-toe design, some users may find a snugger fit initially. Referencing the specific size guide for UK 14 is recommended.

Are these suitable for running or athletic performance?

The Nike ISPA Drifter Split 'NTRL' is designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer cushioning, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running or intense training.

What makes the midsole sustainable?

The midsole is constructed using recycled Nike ZoomX foam, a material repurposed from manufacturing processes, contributing to Nike's sustainability efforts.

Troubleshooting

Initial discomfort with split-toe design

Wear the trainers for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow your feet to adjust. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks, or no socks if preferred and comfortable.

Suede or hemp material looks dirty or stained

Gently brush off surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a lightly dampened cloth. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry completely.

Reduced cushioning over time

While ZoomX is durable, extreme wear can impact cushioning. Ensure the shoes are not used for high-impact sports and consider rotating them with other footwear for daily use.

Compatibility: Designed as unisex adult trainers, they are compatible with standard sock types, though thin or split-toe socks are recommended to fully appreciate the design.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt from suede and hemp. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, avoiding excessive soaking. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  • Suede Care: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain shape and material integrity.
