Well for all you sneakerheads that have one too many pairs of busted kicks in the closet..NIKE has a solution. Yes, it’s time to give. If Earth Day won’t get you motivated then what will? I’m talking about those sneakers that are worn one too many times for Flight Club to take off your hands and just plain too insultingly smelly to even try to sell off ebay or give to the dude that lives on your doorstep. We all have them in the back of our closets or under our beds. So stop being such greedy boogers and give em up to the greater cause! Plus lets do the math people. When you subtract you have more space to add! Which means this benefits you too! Cuz we know these NY apartments never have enough closet space to support our shoe game!

So step it up! Think you have nothing to do with the environment! Wrong! Nike has been running a Reuse-A-Shoe campaign since 93’. It’s easy. You take your shoe (OF ANY BRAND) drop it off at the nearest Reuse-A-Shoe dropoff location and it is then shipped to a processing facility where it is turned into “Nike grind.” This is the hot part: the Nike grind is then used to make different parts of sport surfaces in communities around the world…basketball courts..tennis courts…soccer, etc… Thats right people it supports your b-game!

Im gonna be going to my Nike Store on 57th and Madison to drop off my kicks! If your interested CLICK HERE  to find your nearest hood location.

Only Guidelines:
Athletic shoes only (any brand)• No shoes containing metal
• No cleats or dress shoes• No wet or damp shoes
