![]() You can also contact larger recycling centers to see if they process shoes. If you can’t recycle your footwear through your local Nike store, look for local shoe banks or shoe recycle collection bins to make sure your old shoes are going to the right place for reuse. The goal is to move toward a circular future, where everything is reused and nothing wasted. Nike Grind is one part of a larger sustainability program at Nike called Move to Zero, which is the brand’s journey toward a future with zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport. In fact, since 1992, Nike Grind has recycled 130 million pounds of sneaker material. For nearly three decades, Nike has been incorporating Nike Grind materials into product design, retail spaces and workplace environments around the globe, putting recycled materials to good use in things like furniture, skateboards and even running tracks. Through these programs, the materials from old, donated footwear - including rubber, foam, fiber, leather and textiles - are collected, separated and reused or processed into new Nike Grind materials. and Europe offer shoe recycling, so check your local store and see if they participate. When that happens, you can recycle your old shoes - the textile components of your old footwear can be used to make something else, even a new pair of sneakers in some cases. However, to get full price for your old shoes, they really do have to be in top condition. Especially if they’re a popular brand or style, selling them could get you funds to buy your next pair of kicks. If they’re in good condition after the makeover but you still don’t feel like keeping them, you could try selling them. Making old shoes feel like new again is easier (and more fun) than you might think.
