Old Nikes into tennis courts, tracks and more
If you have some old Nikes laying around the house, or, any other athletic shoes that don't contain any metal, you can turn them in to Nike's reuse-a-shoe program. You can donate up to 10 pair of shoes to the program at a time. The shoes are separated into parts which are then used for new applications. A lot of the rubber is used in "sports surfacing" which means for basketball courts, tracks and other sports courts.
Nike is happy to recycle any brands of shoes as long as they are athletic shoes. They cannot accept cleats or any shoes containing metal, wet or damp shoes or dress shoes.
You can recycle shoes at any Nike store nationwide or find a drop-off location or a court made from the recycled materials by entering your zip code.
