FAQs
What does ISPA stand for?
ISPA stands for Nike's Improvise, Scavenge, Protect, and Adapt line, focusing on innovative solutions to design challenges.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The materials used, such as hemp and suede, are not inherently waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed for use in wet conditions.
How do I clean the cork elements?
Gently wipe the cork areas with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the natural cork material.
What is the main benefit of the split-toe design?
The split-toe design is inspired by traditional Japanese footwear and aims to offer a more natural foot splay and potentially improved stability and comfort for some wearers.
Can I wear these with regular socks?
Yes, you can wear them with regular socks, though the full effect and comfort of the split-toe design might be best experienced with or without socks, or with specialized split-toe socks.
What does 'NTRL' signify?
'NTRL' likely refers to the natural and neutral color palette and materials used in this specific iteration of the ISPA Drifter Split.
What is the retail price of the Nike ISPA Drifter Split NTRL?
The Nike ISPA Drifter Split NTRL was released with a retail price of $200.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Hemp or textile sections look faded.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth rather than harsh detergents. If fading is significant, consider professional cleaning or embracing the natural wear.
Discomfort from the split-toe design.
Allow a break-in period. Wear for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider trying with thin, split-toe socks designed for this type of footwear.
Cork elements show wear.
Cork is a natural material that develops a patina over time. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the cork.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These sneakers require no setup. Simply lace them up and wear them.
Compatibility:
- Socks: While designed with a split-toe, these can be worn with or without specialized split-toe socks. Regular socks may also be worn, though the split-toe benefit might be less pronounced.
- Outfits: Highly compatible with casual wear, including jeans, shorts, and relaxed-fit trousers. The neutral colorway makes them versatile.
Care Instructions:
- Uppers: Gently clean the suede with a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For the hemp and textile portions, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking the materials.
- Midsole: Wipe the ZoomX midsole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber and cork outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Ensure cork areas are not excessively scrubbed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
