Sneakers Release – Nike “Move to Zero” Recycled Men’s, Women’s and Kids’ Shoes

Sneakers Release – Nike “Move to Zero” Recycled Men’s, Women’s and Kids’ Shoes

Dec 30, 2020

When the world shut down in late March, it had an unintended side effect on the environment. Air quality in big cities improved. Water pollution was reduced. Emissions decreased. While some of these effects were short-lived, they shined a light on the fact that small shifts can make big impacts.

Sustainability is nothing new for the Nike brand. But, most recently, the company has been making big moves in how they approach manufacturing. They’re committed toward a “Move to Zero,” a zero-carbon, zero-waste future to help protect humanity and the future of sports.

Nike works toward enhanced sustainability by rethinking its processes and reusing every item. By 2025, Nike expects to switch to 100% renewable energy in all of its factories. And by the end of this year, Nike says it will eliminate single-use plastic bags in its stores.

On January 7, Nike is launching a new collection of sustainable sneakers that demonstrate its commitment to that Move to Zero future, including drops from the Air Force 1 and Blazers collections. Find these shoes in an assortment of men’s, women’s and kids’ sizes both online and in-stores at the start of the new year.
