I learned from a posting on Core77.com that Nike recycle any sneakers. They divide the sneaker into three different sections that eventually make Nike Grind. There are two facilities in which the recycling takes place. Wilsonville, Oregon and Meerhout, Belgium.
Nike Grind Rubber is made from the outsole of the sneaker. This rubber is used in track surfaces, gym floor tiles, playground surfaces and new Nike products. It can also be used to trim buttons and zipper pulls.
Nike Grind Foam is made from the shoe's midsole. The foam is used as a cushion for outdoor basketball courts and tennis courts.
Nike Grind Fiber is made from the sneaker's fabric upper. The fiber is used as part of the creation of cushioning pads for facilities, such as indoor synthetic courts and wood courts.
Nike Reuse-A-Shoe have various drop off sites around the world, or you can mail them. You can recycle as many as 10 pairs of athletic shoes at a time. You just have too find a drop off site.
