From the Nike Considered line comes this new colorway of the Steve Nash signature “Trash Talk” sneaker. This use of orange throughout this shoe make it a bold choice. There’s no word yet if this might be released at House of Hoops or other shops.
The Steve Nash Phoenix Suns colorway uses shoe laces and sockliners which use environmentally-preferred materials and is packaged in a fully recycled cardboard shoe box.
Nike Considered is the eco-conscious, sustainable line of shoes by Nike. The Nike Considered line utilizes materials found primarily within 200 miles of the Nike factory which reduces the energy used for transportation, diminishing the resulting climate change impact. The manufacturing process reduces solvent use by more than 80% compared with Nike’s typical products. The leather comes from a tannery that recycles wastewater to ensure toxins are kept out of the environment, and it is colored using vegetable-based dyes. Hemp and polyester are used to make the shoe’s woven upper and shoelaces. The midsole is cut to lock into the outer sole, reducing the need for toxic adhesives. The shoe’s outer sole includes rubber made from recycled factory rubber waste. It’s all part of Nike’s effort to “go green.”
