First Look: Nike ISPA Drifter Split

Eclectic in its appearance, the silhouette effectively makes use of past icons for reference, namely the oft-forgotten Air Rift.

Its iconic split toe is paraded atop the toe box with a near-identical mesh construction and miniature check, though with more functional inclusions that bridge workwear influence.

Straps are scattered about the entire shoe, supporting the forefoot as it does the side while also providing cosmetic use with its blue-tinted 'ISPA' insignia.

Nylon Ripstop outfits the rest of the upper’s fabrication with reflective dots, tongues add lace toggles for easy fastening, and the sole — whose tread is rife with non-slip rubber — brings along ornamental yellow heel stabilizers and foam-like molds. Each pair is also accompanied by its own pair own split-toe Nike ISPA socks.

The Nike ISPA Drifter Split drops in two colourways on 1 September.
