The earlier years of ISPA mainly saw existing models reimagined through the 4 pillars: Improvise, Scavenge, Protect, Adapt. Thankfully, the boring Air Max 270 got this treatment - and the result was one of the best ISPA models to ever release. They transformed the lifestyle model into a utilitarian mid-top 'city-boot', designed specifically for urban mobility and, as always, steeped it in intricate technical detailing. The standout feature is a Rejuven8/Zvezdochka-esque laser cut TPU web that encases the upper. Woven through this, alongside the standard laces, is a secondary lacing system which is adjustable at the heel - reminiscent of the system found on the ACG Teewinot. Another future classic - boundary-pushing maximalism done well. Great condition.
