NYC Fashion: Nike Trash Talk
Phoenix Suns point-guard, Steve Nash has hooked up with Nike to release the 'Trash Talk' sneaker. What makes this sneaker special is that it's made of "manufactured waste", or recycled sneakers.
- The upper is pieced together from leather and synthetic leather waste from the factory floor using zig-zag stitching.
- The mid-sole uses scrap-ground foam from factory production
- The out-sole uses environmentally-preferred rubber that reduces toxics and incorporates Nike Grind* material from footwear out-sole manufacturing waste.
- The Phoenix Suns’ color-ways will have shoe laces and sock-liners which use environmentally-preferred materials and will be packaged in a fully recycled cardboard shoe box. [Source]
