The Nike Ispa Link Axis was first unveiled during spring 2022 and over a year later the innovative creation from Nike will finally be releasing to the public for the first time. The Nike ISPA Link Axis shows the brand’s innovative capabilities and foretell its future in circular design. The model comes in a mid-cut build allowing you to separate the top secants from the sole unit. It is constructed with eco-friendly materials that include a Flyknit upper made from 100% recycled polyester and TPU cages that are made from 20% recycled materials. The bulbous midsole is equipped with TPU tooling that’s produced with Nike airbag from 100% recycled scraps and the EVA sock liners engineered with 10% recycled materials. This debut colorway gets covered in white along with orange and yellow detailing on the tongues as well as black accents on the laces, heel pull tabs, and branding.

The Nike ISPA Link Axis will be releasing via SNKRS and select retailers on September 12th for $300. For a complete guide including official photos, release dates, pricing and where to buy, visit: Nike ISPA Link Axis Total Orange.

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 anymore.

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 colors 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 toward the forever shoe. Imagine what comes next.

UPDATE (8/10): Last previewed a few days ago, we now have official images of the Nike ISPA Link Axis to share with you. As previously mentioned, the Nike ISPA Link Axis will make its debut overseas first on August 11th at atmos Tokyo. A stateside release has yet to be announced. Retail is set at $300.
