Give Life to Playgrounds, Recycle Your Used Shoes
Nike, has a program in place, to turn your old used sneakers (of any brand, not just Nike brand) into court surfaces for basketball, soccer fields, football fields, and tennis courts.
From the Nike site, they state “The Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program collects and recycles 1-2 million pairs of athletic shoes each year. The shoes are ground up and turned into sports surfaces such as basketball and tennis courts, soccer, football and baseball fields, tracks and playground surfaces. Nike has donated over 150 sports surfaces since the program began in 1993 to communities that would otherwise lack surfaces like these”.
Like Nike says, surely their is a better option for used gym shoes, than the trash. Recycle your sneaks (up to 10 pairs) by dropping off at your nearest Nike shop, SportMart, or The Sport Authority. Click here to find a local location.
