Nike ‘Space Hippie’ Collection: Recycled Materials & Space-age Design

author
Eddie Paz

Nike’s recently announced ‘Space Hippie’ collection is the brand’s newest venture in sustainable fashion and innovative design. Every sneaker in the ‘Space Hippie’ collection is composed of recycled and repurposed materials, resulting in a huge step forward for the industry in terms of environmental consciousness and innovative design.

Dubbed “Space Waste Yarn”, the knit material making up 90% of the upper is made entirely of recycled plastic water bottles, t-shirts, and scrap yarn.

The cushioning of every sneaker is made of recompressed, ZoomX scrap material from the production of the Vaporfly 4%, resulting in a comfortable feel, as well as a random, speckled patterning unique to each shoe as a result of its manufacturing.

To top it all off, every ‘Space Hippie’ midsole is encapsulated in a “Crater Foam” outer sole, a material made by blending a mixture of regular Nike foam and 15%, specialized ‘Nike Grind Rubber’.

Arriving in four unique silhouettes, expect the ‘Space Hippie’ collection to drop this Spring.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
