Trash Talk
I’m currently not in a pro-Nike phase, because the quality of their shoes have degraded to such a level that a 150 JD Nike shoe really isn’t much better than its fake counterpart downtown for 5 JDs. I’m also especially annoyed at how the canvas material traditionally used to make Converse shoes has changed to plasticy BS after Nike acquired Converse in 2003.
But anyway, I guess sometimes when a person takes the trashy stuff they produce to produce something acknowledged as trashy, it’s actually cool. The Nike Trash Talk, in collaboration with Steve Nash, features an upper that’s made of leather and
synthetic leather pieces collected from the factory floor. In addition,
the mid-sole uses factory scrap foam, and the outsole uses less toxic
rubber and incorporates Nike Grind material from outsole manufacturing
waste.
Not only is it recycled, it also looks pretty good.
