Recycled Shoes, Anyone?

Hubby told me a few days ago about this new Nike shoe called 'Trash Talk' that is made from manufacturing wastes (scrap-ground foam from factory production). The outsole uses environmentally-preferred rubber that reduces toxics and incorporates Nike Grind material from footwear.

How cool is that??!

Nike has also created a recycling programme in 1993 called Reuse-A-Shoe, which collects worn-out athletic shoes of any brand and recycles the footwear into usable material called Nike Grind (rubber from the outsole, foam from the midsole and fabric from the upper).

Presenting Trash Talk to you:
