How Old Nike’s Become New Playgrounds

Just because you’ve bought a new pair of athletic shoes doesn’t mean that the old ones should end up in a landfill. Nike’s created a solution that lets you recycle your old shoes. “Reuse-A-Shoe” is part of Nike’s LetMePlay campaign, where worn-out athletic shoes of ANY brand are collected, processed and recycled into materials used in sports surfaces like basketball and tennis courts, tracks and playgrounds.

Since its inception, Reuse-A-Shoe has recycled more than 20 million pairs of athletic shoes – giving thousands of children around the world access to new playgrounds and athletic facilites.
