The shoe, dubbed the “Trash Talk,” is made out of manufacturing waste. The new concept was created in partnership with Steve Nash, the All-Star guard for the Phoenix Suns, who wore the shoe February 14<SUP>th</SUP> in a game against the Dallas Mavericks. <SPAN>KeJuan Wilkins, who works in Nike Media Relations, told me that Nash is really into the environment and when the Nike designers pitched Nash this idea he absolutely loved it.</SPAN></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://scitech.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/04/what%e2%80%99s-orange-and-white-and-green-all-over/">According to the Nike press release, the shoe’s upper is pieced together from leather and synthetic leather waste taken from the factory floor. The mid-sole uses scrap ground foam from factory production. The outsole uses environmentally-preferred rubber that reduces toxins and incorporates material from footwear-outsole manufacturing waste. The laces and sockliners use environmentally-preferred materials, and the shoes are packaged in a fully recycled cardboard box.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CB8B1C54-1C33-449C-A26B-410AA5DB5D1F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
