Nike Grind

The old sneakers are sorted and processed into three types of raw materials:

1. Rubber from the outsoles

2. Foam from the midsole

3. Fabric fibers from the upper portion of the sneaker

They call these materials Nike Grind

Nike Grind is used to make playgrounds, basketball courts, running tracks, and fields

Nearly every part of the shoe gets recycled through the Nike Grind process
