Don’t Trash Those Stinky Sneakers!

Give your beloved old stinky sneakers a new life as a material called “Nike Grind” which is then used to make sport surfaces in communities around the world such as outdoor and indoor basketball courts, outdoor tennis courts, soccer fields, running tracks, and playgrounds.

Nike collects old athletic shoes of ANY BRAND through their Reuse-A-Shoe reuse-a-shoe program, not just Nike athletic shoes.

So, instead of throwing old athletic shoes into the trash where they’ll end up in landfills, donate them to Reuse-A-Shoe so they can be given a new life.

There are drop-off locations in the United States, Europe, and Australia. Click here to find the one nearest to you.

Or, send the shoes to:
Nike Recycling Center
c/o Reuse-A-Shoe
26755 SW 95th Ave.
Wilsonville, OR 97070
Note: Nike will not accept shoes with postage due.

There are a few guidelines that need to be followed:
ATHLETIC SHOES ONLY, ANY BRAND ACCEPTED
NO SHOES CONTAINING METAL
NO CLEATS OR DRESS SHOES
NO WET OR DAMP SHOES
