HEY HEY HEY basketball season is on its way!!!

Your typical sneaker consists of the following materials; ethylene vinyl acetate, polyurethane, carbon rubber, and a bunch of other little plastics and such. Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) is considered a safer alternative compared to other materials, but it is still a plastic, and plastic is never a safe alternative! Our sneakers are made from all these artificial materials, that we do not realize harm the Earth in the long run. I'm sure you are waiting for what new exciting product I have found, well Nike is the lucky winner this time! Nike has teamed up with Steve Nash, the All-Star Guard for the Phoenix Suns, and have created the Nike Trash Talk (pun intended.) This shoe is the first Nike performance basketball sneaker completely made from manufacturing wastes.So here is an alternative, safer product for any of you playing basketball this season!
