Nash Trash Talking?

As if I needed another reason to love Steve Nash. He will now be wearing the Nike Trash Talk, their new environmentally-crafted-shoe. The first game test was on Valentine’s night in the Phoenix game against the Dallas Mavericks (his old team).

The shoe is made from manufacturing waste, and meets Nike’s Considered design standards.

- 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 outsole uses environmentally-preferred rubber and incorporates Nike Grind material from footwear outsole manufacturing waste.

- The Phoenix Suns’ colorways will have shoe laces and sockliners which use environmentally-preferred materials and will be packaged in a fully recycled cardboard shoe box.
