BEAVERTON, Ore. - Nike and Suns guard Steve Nash are releasing a new basketball shoe made with manufacturing scraps, called the Nike Trash Talk shoe.

The shoe is modeled after Nash's current shoe but uses different materials. That includes pieced-together scraps of leather and synthetic leather waste from the factory floor and a sole made up of special materials including ground-up rubber from a shoe recycling program.

Nike says it is the first performance basketball shoe made from manufacturing waste.

Nash will debut the shoe Thursday night at US Airways Center against the Dallas Mavericks.

Nash goes ‘green’ with his All-Star shoe. The upper is made of recycled scrap leathers and synthetics which have been cut into individual pieces and cross-stitched together. Foam scraps were ground to create the midsole and the outsole is formed from reground rubber.

剛剛中午吃飯看電視轉播
歐肥還是穿著西裝在主場看球
希望下週明星賽後太陽對湖人那場
能看到他上場打
剛剛看一小段小牛太陽這場
太空飛鼠犯規一多
太陽禁區真的有點危險
以後歐肥乾脆搶到籃板就送球慢慢走
快攻交給太陽其他諸將

歐肥太陽色系的鞋子何時才會看到

真的很好看的配色
也可見太陽隊防護員之厲害
腳踝包紮的如此之紮實
讓球員無後顧之憂的穿LOW

有興趣可以看看Wall Street Journal的文章,
Nike正在推行這個環保計畫,文中提到23代也是有環保素材的樣子.
也有提到Michael Jordan似乎對計畫存疑...
(怕環保素材無法提供足夠的performance跟外型, 導致無法吸引買氣... )
MJ還是相當生意導向...哈
另外文中也提到Air Jordan這系列球鞋從1985年至今估計產生了$70億美金的產值....my god...

BTW,今天到downtown Boston的鞋店,有看到AJ23白紅黑展示中(Jordan簽名一堆的那雙),
實鞋似乎不是很糟...
只是我朋友一直說那簽名很像麥當勞...

New Nike Sneaker Targets
Jocks, Greens, Wall Street

By NICHOLAS CASEY
February 15, 2008; Page B1

The target audience for the latest edition of Nike Inc.'s landmark Air Jordan shoe is probably more concerned with its sleek styling than its carbon footprint. So when the Air Jordan XX3 is unveiled at the NBA All-Star Game festivities this weekend, sneakerheads probably won't pay much attention to what really distinguishes the shoe from its predecessors: the near absence of chemical-based glues and an outsole made of recycled material.

The Beaverton, Ore., company's new sneaker is neither the first nor the only shoe in the industry to be touted as "green." For Nike, though, the Air Jordan XX3 is at the forefront of a broader effort that is intended to please not just environmentalists and jocks but also Wall Street. It represents a systemic shake-up of the company that is supposed to result in manufacturing operations that are both carbon neutral and cheaper. "It's right for the business," says Chief Executive Mark Parker about the shoe's recent design. It's about "how we can be more efficient."

The elaborately stitched Air Jordan XX3 is part of Nike's "Considered" program -- a broad plan to reduce greenhouse gases and trim factory inefficiency by making cleaner, more sustainable designs in Nike's own labs. Rather than monitor the use of facial masks by overseas workers handling toxic chemicals, Nike is teaching itself to design shoes that don't use them. It's the latest change in tack for the company under Mr. Parker, a former shoe designer who was tapped to lead the company two years ago. All footwear is scheduled to meet baseline requirements for the new program by 2011.
