Ecology, climate change, sustainability – all these topics have become louder in the past few years. It’s not a surprise that corporations, such as Nike, have decided to openly take a stance and create products that reduce our footprint.
Back in July, the Oregon giant introduced its’ Space Hippie model line, inspired by life on Mars, as it heavily relied on recycling materials to create. The Flyknit upper was made of Space Waste yarn, consisting of 85-90% recycled content, which honestly sounds like a great result.
At this point, this eco-solution has been widely introduced in footwear and apparel, such as Benassi Slides, Vapormaxes, NBA jerseys and even customizable Air Force 1 By You.
I personally don’t have a pair yet, but I love odd patterns, so the AF1’s are definitely on my must-have list. It’s great that the companies are thinking more about sustainability and serving us some fresh styles, at the same time.
