FAQs
What does ISPA stand for?
ISPA stands for Improvise, Scavenge, Protect, and Adapt, representing Nike's philosophy of problem-solving through innovative design.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The primary materials are recycled Flyknit and plastic. While somewhat water-resistant, they are not designed to be waterproof and may absorb moisture.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
This guide refers to a UK size 6. It is recommended to consult Nike's official sizing chart for accurate conversions and ensure a proper fit.
Can I separate the two parts of the shoe easily?
The shoe is designed to be interlocked for wear but can be separated. However, frequent separation might affect the longevity of the connection mechanism.
What is the main benefit of the glue-free design?
The glue-free design is central to Nike's circular creation philosophy, making the shoe easier to disassemble and recycle at the end of its life.
Are all parts of the shoe made from recycled materials?
The upper is made from recycled Flyknit, and the sole unit incorporates recycled plastic. Nike emphasizes the use of recycled content in its construction.
What is the return policy for these shoes?
Return policies are determined by the retailer. Please refer to the specific terms and conditions of the place of purchase for details on returns and exchanges.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or stiff.
The interlocking design and recycled materials may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
The two parts of the shoe feel loose.
Ensure both parts are correctly and firmly interlocked. Check that no debris is preventing a secure connection.
Slight creasing on the Flyknit upper.
This is normal for Flyknit materials. Gentle reshaping and proper storage will help minimize creasing over time.
Difficulty in interlocking the parts.
Align the components carefully and apply firm, steady pressure. Ensure the shoe is clean and free of obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Nike ISPA Link is designed to be worn as a complete unit. The two interlocking parts should be securely connected before wearing. Ensure the heel section is fully seated within the sole unit.
Compatibility:
This sneaker is intended for adult wear. It is designed to fit standard foot sizes, with this specific model being a UK size 6. While it functions as a typical sneaker, its unique construction may require a brief adjustment period for optimal comfort.
Care:
To maintain the integrity and longevity of the Nike ISPA Link:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the upper and sole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, especially on the recycled Flyknit.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Consider keeping the two parts together when not in use.
- Disassembly (for Recycling): If at the end of its life cycle, follow Nike's recommended disassembly process for recycling, if available.
