Nike Reuse-A-Shoe
I've told you about a great way to donate your kicks to people who can't afford sneakers of their own, but Nike has another great way to get rid of your old sneakers (instead of just tossing them) called Reuse-A-Shoe.

They turn those old shoes into a recycled product known as Nike Grind.
