FAQs
What does ISPA stand for?
ISPA stands for Improvise, Scavenge, Protect, and Adapt, representing Nike's design philosophy focused on solving problems through creative and sustainable means.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer responsive cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated running, Nike offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I clean the hemp upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the hemp material. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
Can I wear these with socks?
The split-toe design is often worn without socks to experience the intended fit. However, split-toe socks are also an option if preferred.
What is the benefit of the cork in the outsole?
Cork provides natural grip and durability to the outsole, while also contributing to the shoe's sustainable material composition.
What is the main inspiration for the Drifter Split design?
The design is inspired by Japanese split-toe shoes and Nike's ISPA principles of improvisation and sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Due to the split-toe design, ensure your toes are properly aligned within the split. Adjust lacing for a snugger or looser fit around the midfoot.
Hemp upper material feels stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the hemp to naturally soften and conform to your foot. Avoid excessive flexing until broken in.
Uneven wear on cork outsole
Ensure the shoes are not dragged excessively when walking. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that could cause uneven wear.
