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…

Fillmore Street has a friendly neighborhood feel, while filled with unique and delightful stores, restaurants and coffee. Walking down the street my attention was captivated by a song –from Bloc Party-, turned my head and there it was a super cool store -The Brooklyn Circus SF-. Went inside and must confess that the store setup is amazing. The vintage inspired setting provides a unique intimate shopping environment very inviting, not only to do some shopping but also to have fun.
The clothing is really catchy, casual with pop art elements and limited –who doesn’t like limited edition pieces?-. They carry selective specialty brands (example: Nudie Jeans, 10 Deep, Imported Nike, Creative Recreation, Rich Yung, Maharishi, and Free Gold Watch) and on their own The Brooklyn Circus label and BKc private Collection. The lifestyle brand offers a wide variety of clothing, accessories, traveling bags for his and hers.
While doing some research about the brand I found that their first store was opened 3 years ago in Brooklyn/New York. The Brooklyn Circus and BKc brands are now offered in specialty shops in San Francisco, LA, Chicago and Japan and available globally through their online shop (www.thebkcircus.com/shop)
It’s a PLUS that they have a blog. They promote and inspire the shoppers by conveying and expressing their journey as young entrepreneurs that are pursuing their passion.
The Brooklyn Circus SF is located @ 1521 Fillmore Street, San Francisco CA

Who doesn’t remember Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell wearing her keds? Keds were part of the 80′s and early 90′s. Now things have changed; they are SO back.
Keds, with the help of Loomstate, produced their first eco-friendly shoe. Loomstate is a clothing company which produces high quality, durable organic clothing. Starting this month five different prints of the Keds classic Champion silhouette will be sold exclusively at selected Barneys stores (and will cost $75). Keds by Loomstate is made of 100% certified organic uppers and linings, nickel free eyelets and 100% recycled insole boards. For the special edition sneakers Keds will take recycled shoeboxes and re-purpose them as the shoeboxes for the collection.
It’s also cool to know that Barneys New York, Loomstate and Keds are all members of 1% For the Planet. The Organic Exchange, whose mission is to deliver sustained environmental, economic and social benefits through expansion of organic agriculture, will be the beneficiary from each pair of organic sneakers sold.
Definitely, green is the new black!

Usually I’m not the kind of person who likes matchy-matchy, but his tie matching his shirt is just great.

His overall look is cool. That’s it!
