Whatcha gonna do? whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Skater boys are all around the city, jumping stairs, benches, or laughing around. Love how they all have the same dress code; I am sure that if you are a skater dude/chick and you try to dress differently you will be AUTOMATICALLY out of the gang. Vans, Adidas, Reebok, Nike and Converse are the only shoe brands they seem to wear –even though they couldn’t care less for labels-. What do you need? A T-shirt o shirt, a pair of old jeans or khakis, old sneakers and a cool accessory could be a hat or sunglasses (wayfarer Ray Ban’s ring a bell?). It surprises me that they are always smiling, I am sure that if I do a public opinion poll the majority of the locals will agree that they have a cool vibe/attitude.

Give it away, give it away, give it away now. If you are concerned about the environment and committed to making a difference, you need to take action. Years has passed, your sneakers are worn out, truly, madly, deeply destroyed. They are in such bad shape that you will be embarrassed to donate them. You could start by recycling your athletic shoes with Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe.

How does it work?

Bring your ANY BRAND athletic shoes (running shoes, sneakers, etc.), shoes that DO NOT contain any metal. (Please clean your shoes before dropping them)

Where should you drop your shoes?

Any Nike retail stores in the U.S., as well as National Recycling Coalition centers and other locations in the U.S., Europe and Australia (pls check here).

What’s going to happen with the shoes?

After processed they could become part of a basketball court, track, field or playground – and pre-consumer material could even get used in new shoes and apparel.

*-*- Come on, just do it! And kinldy spread the voice…
