The Problem? Old Shoes. After all they've done for you, don't your old, your worn, your weary shoes deserve a better end than a dirty old landfill?

What you may not know is how much life your shoes actually have left in them after you R E U S E h think they're all tired out, The Solution? Turn 'em into something else. Student Government and Nike are collecting used or unwanted athletic shoes of any brand, and then we're going to grind them up a and give them new life as athletic surfaces and Nike products. By the end of 1998, Nike hopes to be recharging the lives of at least 2.1 million pairs of shoes. Fancy Footwork. So what are we going to do with all of your old shoes? You can drop off your shoes at any one of many collection sites around campus, starting MARCH 23, and Student Government will box 'em all up and ship them off to Nike in Portland, Oregon. There the shoes will be ground up into three distinct types of raw material: rubber from the outsoie, foam from the midsole, and fabric from the shoe's upper half. We take the granulated rubber that comes from the outsoie and make running tracks, tennis courts, basketball courts, climbing walls, and playgrounds. We also use the granulated foam from the shoe midsoles for these surfaces and for equestrian riding surfaces. The granulated upper fabric from the shoe uppers becomes the padding under carpets.
