Nike Sportswear Space Hippie 03

Transforming scrap material from factory floors into a sneaker? Is that even possible? Oh yes, the Nike Space Hippie 03 and the whole collection does exactly that. Crafted with so-called Space Waste Yarn, made from 100 percent recycled material — including recycled plastic water bottles, T-shirts, and yarn scraps. Paired with recycled ZoomX foam from the production of the Vaporfly 4% and “Crater Foam” the high-top Nike sneaker is a must-have, not just this season, every season.

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
