When mankind is faced with the most detrimental issue ever dealt with, what are ways we are stopping climate change? It is interesting to loo k into how companies are shifting and changing their systems to become more sustainable. A company I am quite interested in is Nike with their Flyknit designed sneakers. This material is airy, comfortable, lightweight, soft, sturdy, and fitting. The material used is recycled polyester which helps prevent millions of pounds of waste being added to landfills. Looking closely at this Flyknit design, it appears to look like a sea of tightly woven and bounded stitches. One can clearly see each knot and pull, while the shoe beautifully holds shape. Customers get a choice between a vast variety of colors. Nike also designed shoes with the Flyknit material to serve different purpose. It is a multipurpose, eco-friendly, array of color, and comfortable shoe. What else could you ask for?
The question to ask about the shoe is what is the process to make the shoe? What is the process to make this Flyknit material? How is the material extracted from recycled plastic bottles? How could the Flyknit material be applied elsewhere? What is the future for this Flyknit sneaker? What are some new designs with the Flyknit material that will be released soon? Is Nike applying this eco-friendly quality to all of their sneakers?
