FAQs
What does 'ISPA' stand for?
'ISPA' stands for Nike's Improvise, Scavenge, Protect, and Adapt line, focusing on innovative solutions to common problems through sustainable design.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the ZoomX foam offers responsive cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for everyday wear and casual activities, not high-performance running.
How do I clean the cork elements on the outsole?
Gently brush the cork elements to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily crafted from undyed, basket-weave hemp, complemented by tonal suede overlays.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
The split-toe design and hemp material may be comfortable for some users without socks, but wearing thin, well-fitting socks is generally recommended for hygiene and comfort.
What is the 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.
What makes the midsole sustainable?
The midsole is constructed from recycled ZoomX foam, reducing waste and utilizing a more environmentally friendly material.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. If the issue persists, check for any loose parts or consider applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Discomfort from split-toe design
The split-toe design is a unique feature that may require an adjustment period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure socks are thin and fit well within the split.
Hemp material appears discolored
The undyed hemp has a natural sandy hue. Minor variations are normal. If soiled, clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can alter natural colors.
Laces feel insecure
The webbing integrated into the lacing system is designed for a snug fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely. If they consistently loosen, try a different lacing knot or consider replacing the laces with a more grippy material.
