Nike Reuse A Shoe

The Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program collects worn-out athletic shoes of all brands at Nike stores and other locations worldwide.

The shoes are recycled into Nike Grind, a material used to help build sports surfaces and playgrounds. Nike is also working to incorporate more Nike Grind and other environmentally preferred materials into consumer products like shoes and apparel.

Since 1990, they’ve collected more than 21 million pairs of athletic shoes and countless pounds of manufacturing scrap, giving new life to what is viewed as trash.
