ISPA Zoom Road Warrior

The star of the show has to be the Zoom Road Warrior, a pair that looks like it came from a Mad Max movie. Set to release on July the 17th, this sneaker takes inspiration from basketball, sports training, running, outdoor apparel, and traditional Japanese footwear as seen in the split-toe tabi design.

A lot of Nike’s technology has been invested in this silhouette. Outstanding features include the double zoom pods in the middle, the AirZoom BB NXT, a spring system similar to the earlier Nike Shox technology and a lightweight upper that incorporates a technical fixation system to secure the foot to the shoe. That’s A LOT of Nike tech mashed into one shoe. We’re very curious to see how they feel one feet!

Despite the amount of technology going into the innovation of the sneaker, we are trying to understand it's incredibly high pricing point of $500. There is no current release date on the ISPA line. What are your thoughts on this collection?
