Nike introduces its latest Recycled Canvas sneaker pack and it features the sportswear brand's five iconic silhouettes. This includes the Air Force 1 '07, the Air Max 90s, the Air Mx 95s, the Daybreak-Type, and the Cortez. All of the sneakers are constructed from recycled materials -- at least a make up of 20%.
The entire pack of footwear designs are all made from a recycled canvas material throughout the upper, as suggested by the namesake of the collection. This material is used with yarn in order to make use of the brand's post-industrial textile waste. Additional sustainable accents include the backtabs and Flyleather Swoosh branding details, which are made from 80% leather fibers. The shoes also have recycled foam at the laces and the tongue.
