Special Delivery: Unboxing the ISPA Road Warrior, Nike’s crazy $500 sneaker

Welcome to For The Win’s very first episode of Special Delivery, where we unbox new shoes and dig into the origins and purposes behind them. We’ve got an absolute heater on tap for the pilot.

Nike has some funky shoes out there, but you’ve never seen anything quite like the ISPA Road Warrior.

This shoe is Frankenstein in footwear form. It’s the crown jewel of Nike’s ISPA category, built from the leftover pieces of different projects all with different functionalities.

Running, basketball, training. It’s all in there in this one distinct piece built to function in different environments for different purposes.

And it’s all here on Special Delivery. Dig into the story behind this thing here. There’s plenty more to come so make sure you subscribe here.
