[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-ispa-link-axis) introduces two new colorway palettes to join its ISPA Link sneaker model for the season, delivering a Barley palette and a Black colorway. The sneaker made its original debut back in 2018 and has since been reworked a few times. This time around, the shoe is built to be disassembled.

The two new colorways join the existing four -- some of the updates include the construction palette which breaks down the silhouette into three modules. It can easily be taken apart to be recycled. The simplistic design takes only 8 minutes to be made as the module rests upon one singular sole unit foundation and uses pegs within the design. Every pair has a pop of color with Medium Olive adorning the Black colorway and Desert Moss on the Barley.
