Nike have launched a new shoe completely produced from manufacturing waste.

Steve Nash, the All-Star Guard for the Phoenix Suns, and Nike have teamed up to create the Nike Trash Talk.

Nash, who first wore the shoe in an NBA games against the Dallas Mavericks game last week said when asked about the shoes said "Any opportunity to promote the environment and preserve our planet is a step in the right direction,"

Nike have looked at manufacturing waste and produced the shoes using materials previously lost to waste.

The upper is constructed from leather and synthetic leather waste from the factory floor using zig-zag stitching. The mid-sole uses scrap-ground foam and the outsole uses environmentally-preferred rubber that reduces toxics and incorporates Nike Grind material from footwear-outsole manufacturing waste. To finish off the environmentally friendly theme the shoes be packaged in a fully recycled cardboard shoe box.
