FAQs
What does 'ISPA' stand for?
ISPA stands for Improvise, Scavenge, Protect, and Adapt. It represents Nike's approach to creating innovative solutions for everyday problems using creative and sustainable methods.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While they feature responsive cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday wear, not high-intensity athletic activities.
How does the split-toe design affect comfort?
The split-toe design is inspired by traditional Japanese footwear and aims to provide a more natural and comfortable fit by allowing the big toe to move independently. It may require a brief adjustment period for those unaccustomed to it.
What is the main benefit of the recycled ZoomX midsole?
The recycled ZoomX midsole offers lightweight, responsive cushioning for enhanced comfort during extended wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole provides traction, the natural hemp and suede materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular maintenance, these trainers are designed for durability. The lifespan will depend on the frequency and conditions of wear.
Is the cream color easy to keep clean?
The cream color, especially with natural materials, will show dirt more readily than darker colors. Regular gentle cleaning as outlined in the care instructions is recommended to maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort with split-toe design
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust. Gradually increase wear time as your feet adapt to the split-toe construction.
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Hemp upper feels stiff
Natural hemp fibers may require a short break-in period. Gentle flexing of the shoe while wearing can help soften the material over time.
Loss of cushioning over time
While the ZoomX foam is durable, excessive wear can reduce its responsiveness. Ensure proper care and avoid crushing the shoes when storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup beyond putting them on. Ensure the webbing lace system is adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit.
Compatibility:
Designed primarily for adult male foot sizes, specifically UK 7 in this instance. They are compatible with casual and streetwear attire.
Care:
Due to the natural materials (hemp, suede, cork), specific care is recommended:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Suede Care: Use a suede eraser or brush to maintain the texture and appearance of the suede panels.
- Cork Elements: Wipe cork accents with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can damage materials.
