Bad!

The Nike ISPA Link is unique in every sense of the word. It can be pricey, but for good reason. It strays away from convention in terms of how it is produced, the materials and technology it uses, and the way it looks. And, it performs just as well as most lifestyle sneakers in the market, if not better.

Sneakerheads appreciate Nike’s “approach to circularity” highlighted in the ISPA Link. This silhouette reflects sustainability as it is easy to both assemble and take apart, minimizing its carbon footprint and making it perfect for recycling. As a bonus, this feature also allows those with multiple colorways to mix and match parts to create their own designs. 

The Link’s environmental-friendliness does not end there. On top of its sustainable design, it is also reported that the upper and the midsole of this shoe uses 100% recycled materials while the TPU cage is 20% recycled.

Many love the cushioning provided by the Nike ISPA Link. One fan said it was “surprisingly comfortable” while another described it as “basketball they could spend a day on their feet in, for sure.” The sole also features “weird holes”, as referred to by an expert, that helps in the compression of the sole, making each step softer.

This sneaker is very breathable due to its use of lightweight materials and the perforations found all over it. Because of the abovementioned factors, one expert commented that it is “a great shoe to wear in the summer.”

Great lockdown thanks to the laces

Another thing praised by those who have a pair of the ISPA Link is the lockdown provided by its unique laces. The feature utilizes a zigzag pattern and a material described by an expert to be “a little bit plasticky”, which allows it to “hold better than the regular nylon”. Another expert found it bizarre, as it was “not basketball he has seen before integrated in any other sneaker.”

The ISPA Link, according to those who have had the chance to put it on, runs true to size. However, it is also mentioned to have a snug fit that “kinda hugs around the ankle,” so you might want to take that into consideration especially if you like a little bit of wiggle room in your footwear.

The snugness of this sneaker causes a lot of fans to find it to be a bit narrow. Wide-footers are warned about this, as the outsole rubber has a tendency to press against the foot, which can make the experience of wearing the ISPA Links a very uncomfortable one.

Controversial looks

“One of the most interesting and odd duck looking shoes”, an expert said about the ISPA Links. Those who have seen the silhouette also agree, commenting “different and weird” and “pretty funky lookin’”, among many others. Nonetheless, it does not seem like they mean it negatively, since the shoe gets praised a lot for its “cool design.”

Despite its odd design, this shoe looks amazing when worn.  Sneakerheads have commented that the Links “look fire on feet” and are “pretty ugly until you put them on”. Seemingly puzzled, one fan found this phenomenon to be very weird, saying “they do look much better on feet than on hand.”

Retailing at $225, a lot of fans have a hard time justifying this sneaker’s price tag. One expert, who bought 2 pairs, gave a response of “For the price point, I feel like I definitely do” when asked if he regrets buying the shoe. On the other hand, a fan commented that “The price is a little bit steep, but it might be worth it." If you are really tight on budget, here are some of the most nike sb catalogue 2009 price list free
