FAQs

What does 'ISPA' stand for?

ISPA stands for Improvise, Scavenge, Protect, Adapt, which is a design philosophy by Nike focused on creating innovative solutions for challenging environments.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the Nike ISPA Universal comes with two 40% cork insoles that are designed to be easily removed for cleaning or replacement.

What is Bio-EVA foam made from?

Bio-EVA foam is made from nature-derived sources, such as sugarcane, instead of petroleum or other non-renewable resources.

How do I clean the Bio-EVA foam exterior?

Wipe the foam upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush with mild detergent and rinse gently. Always air dry.

Can I replace parts other than the insoles?

The zero-glue design allows for the replacement of key removable parts. The insoles are the primary user-replaceable component highlighted for longevity.

What is the intended use for the Nike ISPA Universal?

The Nike ISPA Universal is designed as a comfortable lifestyle shoe for everyday wear, with a focus on sustainability and longevity rather than high-performance sports.

When was the Nike ISPA Universal Grey released?

The Nike ISPA Universal Grey was released on June 15, 2023.

Troubleshooting

Insoles feel uncomfortable or worn out.

Remove the cork insoles and clean them thoroughly with a damp cloth. If they remain uncomfortable or significantly worn, consider purchasing replacement insoles designed for the ISPA Universal.

Foam upper has dirt that is difficult to remove.

Use a soft brush with a mild soap solution to gently scrub the textured areas. Rinse the brush and repeat as needed. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Shoes retain an odor.

Remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and the shoe interior to air out completely in a well-ventilated area. Sprinkling baking soda inside the shoe overnight can also help absorb odors.

The fit feels slightly off after cleaning.

Ensure the insoles are completely dry and correctly positioned back into the shoe. The Bio-EVA foam may also take a short period to regain its shape after cleaning.
