Nike Shoe Recycling Program

Nike goes green with the Nike Shoe Recycling Program or as Nike terms it - Reuse-a-Shoe. With millions of athletic shoes being thrown in the garbage every year, Nike decided to take the green road and do something about it. Through the Nike reuse-a-shoe program, Nike encourages people to drop off their athletic shoes at one of the shoe drop-off locations located in many Nike outlet stores, other retail stores, sports clubs and schools in Canada, UK, Netherlands, Germany, and Australia. Alternatively, Nike also provides an address where your shoes can be mailed in. Go to: http://letmeplay.com/reuseashoe/locations/ to find a location near you.

What Usefulness Do Old Worn-Out Athletic Shoes Have?

Nike takes the pairs of shoes and grinds them down into what is called Nike Grind. Nike Grind is composed of rubber from the outsole, foam from the midsole and fabric from the upper and are used in:

• basketball courts
• running tracks
• soccer fields
• tennis courts
• playgrounds

And Nike is continuing to explore new and innovative uses for Nike Grind. If your wondering what Nike Grind looks and feels like, visit a Nike store where you will likely see it in the footwear aisles.

It’s nice to see Nike in the positive press for what they are giving back through this great community program.

Please do your part by remembering to donate your old athletic shoes.

Regardless of your exercise regime, Nike running shoes can be used for all exercise and sports. I personally use them for everything from cardio, to jogging, to lifting weights. These sneakers are not only fashionable but functional as well.
