Nike’s ISPA launch just over two years ago might have passed quietly under your radar, but as the climate continues to pose new threats and city living conditions faces new challenges for athletes, ISPA’s profile is increasing and raising the design stakes. Meanwhile, the busy city life asks for new change solutions for the athlete.
With ever-growing new megacities in development, the focus is very much on city living. We are constantly always in our shoes, from on the subway to the bike. ISPA stands for Improvise Scavenge Protect Adapt. Many of the materials are scavenged from prototypes, outdoor hardware material, textiles, flat goods, and Nike grind. It’s not just about “revolutionary” new technology but also the design philosophy. It’s also loosely predicated on the idea of urban survival. Subjects like climate change, air and data pollution, growing cities, and shifts in transportation definitely functioned as an engine behind ISPA.
We got to take a look at the new Fall/Winter 2020 collection before it drops and breakdown some of our favorite looks from the tabi inspired split toe to the motor-cross pant.
