My wife has listened to this song for 140 hours for P5 and I just started P5 Royal. She officially hums this around the house now. She’ll tell you she hates it tho. Nice pick Antwon
13:45 I completely agree with this sentiment. These specifically aren't my cup of tea as far as wearing but I do really love the experimentation/tech aspect of all of them. The entire wave of utilitarian/experimental/deconstructed/reconstructed/diy/sustainable/..... WEIRD shoes is so appealing and interesting to me. It plucks my designer heartstrings and makes me want to improvise, scavenge, protect, and adapt to create some unique, experimental shoes. I'm on a journey to add "shoe designer" to my resume and these types of shoes are really inspiring in that regard.
2000 AD has finally arrived!, "Dredd grab your Lawgiver!, some Cyberpunks have rolled onto the block, control has reported many crimes against fashion"
Definitely agree with what you said about designing for hotter conditions around 8min, but they actually did an iteration of the React Low last year made with entirely perforated mesh for summer instead of waterproof stuff! You actually showed a pair, I think the first white/red/black shoe to pop up on the initial ISPA lineup you showcased. They were marketed super poorly and lots of shops still sold them as water resistant (they absolutely are not, even air is meant to go right through them) but I've got a pair and really appreciate the ventilation. Loved the video, did a write-up on the collection for Modern Notoriety and was really hoping someone would make a video on these!!
I feel what you said about ISPA accessories can be applied to the shoes and clothing as well. If you have black everything else, a single current-line ISPA product could work. Not sure how compatible that'd be to an already busy techwear ensemble, though, since I'm coming from a more mainstream perspective.
It is nice to see Nike pushing the boundaries of what is possible. I really like the look of the overreact and the so called "sandals". If they add more colores to the overreacts they may become one of there biggest sellers from this colection. The pants are out there to. WOuld love to se what they do next after this ISPA collection & the new Space Hippe Collection.
The pants are awesome if you're going for that "I come from a vertical world where people just have to be wearing climbing harnesses all the time and I accidentally mantled into this parallel horizontal world" look.
the road warriors are toeing the line (pun intended) into sculpture. so weird and inexplicable that a brand would make something like that, but putting the road warriors alongside the alphafly’s almost turns them into an art object. if they made a few items each season that were this kind of limited, expensive, hyperdesigned object, with more toned-down affordable items, i think the line would do really well.
Big agree - would love to see semi-regular experimental releases that tell a story of the design process or show off some prototype ideas that won't make it to mainline releases
Real hyped about the Drifters. I've liked tabis for a while but I never got any for the longest because I knew people would think they looked weird. I stopped caring much about what other people think and got a pair a month or two ago and now I can have a pair from a familiar brand too. Side note, your captions are great, I subbed.
I have both over-reacts I’m comfy but only wore for about a week or 2 walking my dogs for about 2-3 miles a day and it’ breaks apart on the bottom already
Maybe the Drifter gets its name from that concept. The ISPA line is moving along with new ideas and this one is just drifting along with hints of the older ISPA shoes? Either way, I absolutely love them and am gonna try to get them. And you know what? I'm gonna try to get my hands on the Road Warriors as well, 500usd be damned!
Thanks for the shoutout! I did watch the old videos, I especially like the "Best of DIY brands", but as you said, there is always new stuff to be covered.
I’m really enjoying the ISPA stuff. The Joyride Envelopes are really comfortable! The ISPA commune jacket and track pants are futuristic looking. I had to order it from Germany, Nike ran out of my size.
Would love to do this - there's a specific G-Shock model I'm after so if I can get one I'll definitely use it for a watch-specific video. There's loads of cool stuff out there
Oh and I have the react 87. See through futuristic shoe with super comfy react sole. I can’t imagine a lighter shoe (if you’re into that) only wear in summer tho way too breezy in winter. Super breathable too. I’m not sure if the Ispa can top them. Great video reminds me of the old acg drop videos you used to do when acg was techwear (coff). Faaaanx
Loved the look of the 87s and they came in some really nice colours too 😍 Yes! Always enjoyed doing those old videos, now this is about the closest we've got (RIP ACG). Especially now it feels like seasonal releases are all over the place
I like the road warrior , the upcoming nike zoom mmw 4 shares a similar sole also. Any recommendations on wallets? Thin profile but fits a lot , no ridge wallets please...
Yes! Looking forward to that releasing, looks very cool. The Veilance ones are quite slim, I use a Prada one personally which is fairly slim but there are loads of brands honestly. I don't think there's much need to get a 'technical' wallet so you might as well pick something you like the look of
@@ThisIsAntwon Interesting, was looking at some Prada ones, usualy I use a card holder but sometimes have carry cash (when entering dodgy asian stores, p.s Im asian also)
I have the 'OG' ISPA WR in black and still love them, but I've not fancied any of the other releases enough to buy. I dig the pants and long sleeve shirt, but the price for Nike is a put off. The over-react sandal in black is niiice!
I love the aesthetics but I wish they would release some more monochrome colorways. The sandal overreact in black is great. Can t help but reiterate what other people have said: the space hippie and even some of these pieces seem really ironic in that they’re using recycled materials, less material, and stripped down look/design but the cost is way high. Is that just the new cost of sustainability?
I think Nike ISPA made a wrong move with the tabi split-toe design. The designs are pretty extraordinary in itself the prices are quite high too, so I understand people are not happy that they have to buy some tabi split-toe socks to even wear the shoes AND buy something to match these crazy designs. If they wanted to appeal to a bigger audience and create some more hype around this collection, they should've went with a normal toebox design in my opinion. I think these are gonna end up in the sale category of END clothing, where you come across most of the weirder looking Nike shoes.
I like how every ISPA shoe that get a release date ends up going for $500 then it sinks down to below retail after the drop I see this a pass for me, though I do like the shoe design of it
There are a bunch of insta pages that mash or do customs of base shoe models that would be big sellers, which I'm surprised Nike doesn't take inspiration from, they're kinda hard.
My fav is the nike overreact fk sandal despite sneaker sandals and sandals not being mine thing at all. (i dont even like visvim christos, suicokes, or any of those fashion type beat sandals either) going to see if i can pick those up on a sale in like a couple months. definitely black is dope
about a fortnight before the Road warrior was leaked I was talking to my friend about what my dream shoe would be (which isn't a Jordan 11) and what I described was basically the Road warrior but I a black/grey colourway... But £500?! that's heartbreaking. I don't really wear "tech wear" my personal style is very Japanese inspired with hints of vintage sportswear and American blended with technical more futuristic elements to create a nice juxtaposition. Those shoes will pair as nicely to my wardrobe like its bread and butter.
Tabi toebox really ruins the road warrior, makes an already very loud shoe look gimmicky beyond reason. Feels like it was just put on there for the sake of being obnoxious and "weird".
i'm often saddened that they don't invest more energy and resources into subbrands like ISPA and ACG, it's the type of shit i crave more of.
I think Nike might start spending more into them considering they want to be more sustainable but we'll see
Yup these and the acg deschutz have been some of the best drops in a while
Omg the persona 5 music... My interests are colliding
It's an absolute jam
My wife has listened to this song for 140 hours for P5 and I just started P5 Royal. She officially hums this around the house now. She’ll tell you she hates it tho. Nice pick Antwon
Totally digging the P5 music too.

Nate watson exactly how I feel!
Off white : Deconstructed
Acronym : Utilitarian
Nike Hippie : Recycled
New ISPA : Reconstruction
Good summary 🔥
Mr. Mussels: trash
Sacai: DIY Reconstruction
ACG: Exploration
n.354: Pre-construction/prototyping
Hotel: Trivago
@Mr. Mussels ever tried on a pair of 500s? They may be ugly but they sure are comfy.
I was so on board with the road warriors and then I heard that 500$ price point holy shit
Love the Persona 5 music in the background < 3
I'd have to disagree on on that the rerelease of the Nike shocks was unsuccessful. In Germany they are pretty commonly seen. 3:05
Ah fair enough! I saw them hit sales in UK but I guess it did better elsewhere
Road Warrior and the Drifter are on my buy list. I have not been interested in a shoe release in a really long time so I'm pretty hyped on this!
2000 AD has finally arrived!, "Dredd grab your Lawgiver!, some Cyberpunks have rolled onto the block, control has reported many crimes against fashion"
3:00 it’s like a tank with the tracks on the outsole 😂
the Road Warrior is too expensive for me but damn i really love how they look

“Drifter long sleeved tshirt”
Me: E N L I G H T E N E D
Got lucky on the website and won my size in the Road Warrior - really can't wait to try them on.

WOuld love to se what they do next after this ISPA collection & the new Space Hippe Collection.
i know this is mostly about the shoes, but im in love with those pants and longsleeve shirt. they look so cool and futuristic!
Hell yeah!
I would like to know the song playing in the background
Tempted to get the flows with yellow midsole and painting it black
The pants are awesome if you're going for that "I come from a vertical world where people just have to be wearing climbing harnesses all the time and I accidentally mantled into this parallel horizontal world" look.
looool accurate
Does anybody know what happened with nikelab AAE? Super underrated imo

Nice! Ultimately people will respect you having your own style with confidence so good on ya.
Welcome! 🤩
Wait the p5 music is soooooo good, Nice video ant.
do you think the undercover presto fits in the techwear aesthetic?
I have both over-reacts I’m comfy but only wore for about a week or 2 walking my dogs for about 2-3 miles a day and it’ breaks apart on the bottom already
I’m feeling The Drifters. With a moderate outfit they could really punch up.
Yeeee big time
Now THESE are sneakers worth looking at
Maybe the Drifter gets its name from that concept. The ISPA line is moving along with new ideas and this one is just drifting along with hints of the older ISPA shoes?

Nemen phase pant are selling for only £209 down from £500 on seven store !

When talking about accessories, maybe make a video on tech wear watches available?
Would love to do this - there's a specific G-Shock model I'm after so if I can get one I'll definitely use it for a watch-specific video. There's loads of cool stuff out there
Anyone know when the longsleeve releases and if it will release in Canada?
i bought the overreact sandal in thunder gray
are there any benefits to tabi toe boxes?

wish i couldve bought the road warriors but €650 for resell

what u said about ispa + acg being al lil alike its one of the first things i said long time ago when i 1st heard of it
I got the all black sandals for $78 at a Nike outlet recently
I think that road warrior looks pretty interesting, would like to see it paired with your Hamcus stuff, though I don't know if the colours will work
I love the aesthetics but I wish they would release some more monochrome colorways. The sandal overreact in black is great.

the drifter is by far my favorite out the group. A Tabi Nike? Yes sign me up. Hope to grab both pairs.

Did he talk about the vest??
I love cool shoes so much it hurts. Thank you.
Still I'll never be able to wear them, my size is too smol.
On the plus side small sizes are more likely to end up on sale so it's not all bad!
@@ThisIsAntwon idk why but this comment made me smile
Why is the road warrior so much more expensive than the other shoes here?
I think the double zoom in it is like the alphafly next% or whatever it's called and that was hella expensive
Your side notes makes me stomach hurts omggg 😂
Love this ISPA stuff!
serious question here, when ppl wear shoes with split toes how do they do that with socks and stuff
You have to get specific tabi socks! Maharishi do them as do a few other brands
This Is Antwon tabi socks, thats defenitly my new favorite word 😂
gotta tech ninja up if I'm gonna go steal some hearts.
how much are the sandals???
The regular Overreact is £159.95 so they'll most likely be the same price
hoping for nikelab ISPA maybe we can get some overdesigned classics
lmao first time watching but can tell ur gonna be great bro, subscribed
Thanks so much man!
How much will drifters be? And that drifter top?
The Drifters are set at $180usd.
Is it just me or does the tabi cleft on the Drifter seems real strangely positioned? Too much in the middle?
It does look very central, I assume it works or else that'd possibly be the world's biggest design oversight haha
This Is Antwon 😂 totally! Looking forward to the on feet reviews!
Road Warriors 😍🔥
While I can't say I'm a fan of any of the products in this videos, it was still an entertaining watch haha
nice video, well done
I feel like the egg packing look would go great with HAMCUS pieces.
My fave is roadrunner n drifters
Love all the ispa
There are a bunch of insta pages that mash or do customs of base shoe models that would be big sellers, which I'm surprised Nike doesn't take inspiration from, they're kinda hard.
I’d like to see the OverReact with a more classic simplified upper.
Since it's just a variation on the regular react sole this is probably the most likely thing to make it out of the ISPA line. Who knows!
My fav is the nike overreact fk sandal despite sneaker sandals and sandals not being mine thing at all. (i dont even like visvim christos, suicokes, or any of those fashion type beat sandals either) going to see if i can pick those up on a sale in like a couple months. definitely black is dope
Space Hippie 3s??????
Cool to be doing all this wacky stuff. $500 is definitely a lot of money to ask, but cool that its so limited.
They're all a bit too much for me, but the split toe thing is definitely the deal breaker. I am super curious as to how the road warriors feel though
You and me both!
Ispa is a return of the alpha project.
Seems like that anyway.
about a fortnight before the Road warrior was leaked I was talking to my friend about what my dream shoe would be (which isn't a Jordan 11) and what I described was basically the Road warrior but I a black/grey colourway...

Those shoes will pair as nicely to my wardrobe like its bread and butter.
Yaknow what I think the drifter is the best out of all of them.
I love the road warriors but $500 for a pair of shoes 😬
buy and resell the next week for $1000
id on that bag at 15 min?
nvm its the tigershard
P5 ost is the GOAT
10:00 Hikers like to reduce their base weight this would be a great shoe for desert hiking
they actually said it was inspired by that exact concept!!
Will R well there u go. I hike live in NY but moving to Desert in 6wks. What to do with all my Techwear 🤔
Oh god I actually really love the drifter
They're all too expensive, but still super cool!
Road Warrior is the only one at $500 the rest are all sub $200.
The split toe is a no go for me.
Definitely the most controversial element - I'd at least hope that makes them comfy
i just love nike
And here I am hopeing that you were going to model that bodysuit. We can only hope.
Maybe I need a Patreon 😏
This Is Antwon only fans ha ha
The Road warrior toe box looks like a camel toe
if the shoes dont fit SPD cleats, they aint tech
If you buy the camel toe shoe, do you also need camel toe socks?😆
Yeah, what we all needed, a shoe with a camel toe. LOL
500????
Never been this early for anything...
The foot print look like a city
looool accurate
Imagine sticking a piece of google map to the bottom of your shoe
Big brain move so you never get lost 🧠
Somebody stop Antwon before he goes full neckbeard
I wear $500 nike sneakers and also ziptie water hoses on my legs. :-)
Tabi toebox really ruins the road warrior, makes an already very loud shoe look gimmicky beyond reason. Feels like it was just put on there for the sake of being obnoxious and "weird".
“Tah-bee” tho, not “tabby”
Hi 👋 🐜
Absolutely love the road warrior! But also absolutely unwearable.
10:25 Good catch here. You could wear toesocks, but yeah anyone with regular socks is gonna have a bad time.
They will come with special tabi socks for both, pretty cool looking ones too (maybe even better looking than the shoes themselves)
Antwon tan
Success? How can a split toe have success? Humans are weird
