Nike’s ‘Dumpster’ Sneakers Slammed Brutally Online and They Come With Hefty Price Tag Too

Nike is being slammed online for its ISPA Mindbody sneakers priced at $180, which is approximately ₹ 14,750. These mud-coloured trainer shoes, which are also available in neon green, were launched earlier this year. The company has deemed the footwear as “the new definition of R&R (rest and recreation)”. According to the official website, the “pillowy” foam midsole is an oasis of sensations. Also, its light and airy Flyknit upper provides a sanctuary.

“Guided by Nike’s circular design philosophy, a key feature to this concept is designing with product end of life in mind, which resulted in shoes that can be easily disassembled. No glue necessary—just a single cording system that holds it all together. When you’re done with your shoes, there’s no need to take them apart or throw them away.

There were also people who applauded the brand for its product. “One of the most comfortable shoes I own definitely would recommend,” one user wrote.
