Upcoming Air Jordan 1 High Zoom “Space Hippie” Made from Recycled Materials

While not debuting alongside the rest of its recycled counterparts, the unreleased Air Jordan 1 High Zoom “Space Hippie” is sure to be a fan favorite when it does eventually drop. Made up of recycled materials from Nike’s cutting room floor, nearly everything from its rubber mid and outsoles, the woollike upper, and all stitching are composed of waste scraps from previous Nike sneaker productions.

The midsole is made up of “Crater Foam”, a proprietary material made from a mixture of Zoom X, Nike foams, and NikeGrind rubber that results in a 100% recycled, sustainable form of cushioning. The black and grey toned upper is knit from polyester yarns manufactured from recycled Nike t-shirts and yarn scraps as well as plastic water bottles. A full-length Zoom Air unit is placed inside the midsole for the added comfort and response the AJ 1 Zooms are known for. A “ZOOM” branded tag underneath the lace collar, “Nike Zoom” branding on the tongue, and an exposed foam collar complete the latest Space Hippie look.

The shoe is rumored to release August 12th for $170 USD.

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
