Nike‘s Space Hippie line consists of four models made of “trash” the Space Hippie 01, Space Hippie 02, Space Hippie 03 and Space Hippie 04 the first three of which are appearing in a new “Photon Dust” pack. Though the shoes are indeed “trash” as they’re composed mostly of leftover materials and factory scraps, their build is in fact far more nuanced. Each Space Hippie model is made of at least 25% recycled content by weight with uppers crafted from “Space Waste Yarn,” which uses roughly 75% recycled polyester material produced from PET bottles, T-shirts, and thread waste all atop renewable Crater Foam midsoles.
