Nike‘s expanding ISPA line boasts a robust portfolio of innovations to solve for the challenges of city life. These challenges are as varied as the human-made environment, and in the case of the Nike ISPA Air Max 720, the design decisions serve to stabilise Nike‘s tallest Air unit and safeguard it from bumps and bruises. Think jostling for space on a metro train, stretching out to keep a door from shutting or bouncing through a rave. The challenges of city life are nuanced and, often, discrete. A solid Air Max can help keep one comfortable through it all. And, as Air Max is to the dance hall what an Oxford shirt is to American prep schools, the Nike ISPA Air Max 720 incorporates a heel tab fastener that functions like a classic locker tab so that the shoes can be hung in glory after a night out. Elements for the shoe are drawn from the Nike React 87, and when applied to the Air Max unit serve to guide the bags’ displacement for a firmer ride. On the upper, tight mesh cutouts offer breathability. The shoe offers sophisticated solutions to a few unique, everyday problems, while managing to look quite futuristic at the same time. The Nike ISPA Air Max 720 comes in white, black and metallic, and is available at official Nike depositories across the planet and also online.
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
