ISPA Link Axis

Shoes take you places. That's what they're made to do. But when you're finished with them, what then? All those miles—the scuff marks of perseverance, the frayed edges of triumph—gone? Not any more.
Continuing our journey to push the needle of footwear design, the ISPA Link Axis is Nike's first exploration into creating a fully circular shoe. "Every part can be recycled", says the ISPA team. "It represents progress over perfection—creating a product with a second life in mind". Guided by the principles of modularity and waste reduction, the design uses interlocking components, as few materials as possible and zero glue.
It also delivers a brand-new look and feel, developed with the same thoughtful approach. The underfoot sensation, highlighted by a "blown" plastic midsole and mechanical Nike Air cushioning, adds responsiveness and the perfect amount of bounce. Even the sporty colours are purposeful: they nod to the very first Link Axis prototype, now housed in a museum exhibit on the future of circular design. It's a reminder of our promise: everlasting progress towards the forever shoe. Imagine what comes next.
Nike ISPA: A philosophy entwining the concepts of improvise, scavenge, protect and adapt. This chapter of ISPA explores the concept of modularity and material choice as a design solution to help make the world a better place. Guided by the principles of longevity and waste reduction, we're committed to leading footwear design into a space that allows humans and nature to live in harmony.
