Greenbiz is reporting news from Beaverton, Ore., that Nike has teamed up with Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash to produce a shoe that is mostly made from manufacturing waste and other materials that would normally be discarded.
The shoe is part of a bigger ‘green’ initiative that Nike is working towards that would allow their footwear to meet sustainability standards by 2011.
Nash was planning on wearing the show during the NBA All-Star game on Sunday.
“Any opportunity to promote the environment and preserve our planet is a step in the right direction”
—Steve Nash

No, no! The best comment from last night from Nash was: Yeah, I’m not a trash talker… that’s the humor of it.”
No? Ahhh, well. What are these trashy shoes going to cost us? $130?
