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 waterproof?

The Nike ISPA Drifter Split 'NTRL' is not fully waterproof. The natural hemp and suede materials are best suited for dry conditions. Water-repellent sprays can offer some protection.

How do I clean the cork elements?

Wipe the cork elements with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this could affect the material's integrity.

What is the main inspiration behind this design?

The design is inspired by creative, sustainable problem-solving and Japanese split-toe footwear, incorporating natural materials and recycled components.

Can I wear these without socks?

While designed to be worn with socks, some users may find them comfortable without, especially if they have sensitive feet. The split-toe design might require an adjustment period regardless of sock choice.

What is the benefit of the recycled ZoomX midsole?

The recycled ZoomX foam provides lightweight, responsive cushioning, offering comfort and energy return while utilizing sustainable materials.

Where were these shoes originally released?

The Nike ISPA Drifter Split 'NTRL' was released on September 30, 2021.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort with split-toe design

Wear thin socks designed for split-toe footwear or gradually increase wear time to allow your feet to adjust.

Hemp upper appears dirty or stained

Use a soft brush and a damp cloth with a very mild detergent. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid machine washing or harsh scrubbing.

Suede material looking worn

Utilize a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Consider applying a protective spray.

Reduced cushioning over time

While ZoomX foam is durable, significant wear may occur with extensive use. Ensure the shoe is properly cared for to maximize its lifespan. Consider rotating with other footwear.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

As a sneaker, the Nike ISPA Drifter Split 'NTRL' requires no specific setup. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness using the integrated webbing system.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard sock wear. The split-toe design may be best suited for specific types of socks if preferred, though many wearers find them comfortable with regular socks.

Care:

  • Uppers: Gently brush away loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains on the hemp, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the material.
  • Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser for scuffs and marks. Protect suede with a waterproofing spray designed for natural materials.
  • Midsole & Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the cork elements are not exposed to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity and color.
