The company defines the footwear as "the new definition of R&R (rest and recreation)". However, sneakerheads on social media compared the pair of shoes to something "picked out of a landfill".
Nike is being mocked online for its ISPA Mindbody sneakers, which feature a worn-in aesthetic. The $180 (approximately Rs 14,750) mud-coloured trainer, which is also available in neon green, was launched earlier this year. According to the official website, the shoe is made from recycled yarn and is meant to be "easily disassembled".
The company defines the footwear as "the new definition of R&R (rest and recreation)". However, sneakerheads on social media compared the pair of shoes to something "picked out of a landfill". Some users even called the footwear "dumpster dunks", "Nike Air Scraps", "Foot Fungus" and "Homeless 1s". Others compared the shoes to the "lungs of a pack-a-day smoker".
On social media, users criticised Nike for the costly footwear. However, as per New York Post, some applauded the brand for its design. "One of the most comfortable shoes I own definitely would recommend," one user wrote, rating the product as "very durable" with five stars.
"Love them. Wear anywhere," another agreed. "Don't walk on wet ground with these. Feet and socks will get wet. Has small holes for ventilation in sole," said another.
