Nike Sportswear Space Hippie 02

Let’s say it in the words of Nike “Space Hippie is an exploratory footwear collection inspired by life on Mars —where materials are scarce and there is no resupply mission. Created from scraps, or “space junk,” Space Hippie is the result of sustainable practices meeting radical design.” Yes, you heard it right, this shoe is made from trash, well, parts of it, and its amazing. The Nike Space Hippie “02” utilizes recycled ZoomX foam from the production of the Vaporfly 4% to create a new cushioning experience, paired with a slip-in construction, the laceless is everything you want from a sneaker.

THE FUTURE IS CIRCULAR

Move to zero is Nike’s journey toward zero carbon and zero waste - packaging play an important role. That is why we are on a journey toward 100% circular packaging.

The Space Hippie design-thinking extended to every element of the product including the packaging

• The team set out to reduce waste and excess materials by creating a shoe box that is also the shipper - the “one box”
• The box is smaller to reduce materials and uses more recycled content
• Removed toe stuffing and paper wrapping to reduce use and weight
• Printed with soy-based ink
• 100% recyclable

There are many challenges to consider when changing packaging - and opportunities to innovate

• Boxes need to be stacked and packed, legibility is key, protection is paramount
• The One Box dimensions create efficiency for stacking, packing and supply chain logistics
