The shoe underwent rigorous testing, with athletes ch alking up over 400 miles to ensure that it could withstand the wear and tear of long-distance running. With sustainable footwear, there are always questions about durability, particularly when it comes to a shoe of this caliber. The whole shoe is at least 50% recycled material by weight, a stunning feat for a shoe designed for performance. The carbon fiber FlyPlate is 50% recycled carbon fiber, Nike’s high-efficiency ZoomX foam is partially made from recycled TPU, and the midsole itself is 70% recycled foam scraps. The upper of the shoe is made from recycled plastics, and the laces and tabs are made from 100% recycled polyester. The new shoe, known as the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly “Next Nature,” will be taking the same revolutionary design and reproducing it with sustainable, recyclable, and recycled materials.
In September, Nike announced that the same high-performance running shoe will be receiving a sustainable makeover.
