Nike ISPA’s sense for utility is unmatched within the confines of the Beaverton office, often deriving inspiration from outside sources to turn silhouettes into something wholly unique. They ran with the concept of envelopes just last year and now they’re turning to waist bags and fanny packs as they unveil their newly added Drifter Gator. Arriving in two colorways — one a clean white and the other a mix of saturated blue — the model basks in a shape sleek at the forefoot though quite protuberant towards the heel, a result of the pouch stitched into the very fibers of the construction. Equipped with waterproof zippers and denotative branding, the accessory transforms the general profile, hanging outward just above the tooling which adorns with two molds ostensibly pieced together from distinct components. The rest of the sole is left a clean white with trail-catered treads, complementing the rest of the kit that outfits with technical taping angularly throughout and a ripstop synthetic along the entire base. Grab a good look at both offerings right here, and if you’re looking to grab a pair, they’re currently set to release in Japan on February 8th with no word on when we’ll see a global launch.
