To develop the sneaker, Nike cushioned used from scraps from factory floors to cushion recycled yarn and purposely left the soles undyed to reduce their carbon footprint, and to also intentionally redefine the existing notion of luxury with rawthentic modernity.

‘space Hippy is the pinnacle expression of the palatte of our sustainable materials – but they’re scalable across the whole company’, explained Noah Murphy – Reinhertz, Nike’s Sustainability Design Lead. ‘It’s a wild manifestation, but one that creates tools that everyone can use’.

The exciting event brought together a high-profile audience which consisted of the biggest names in the international sports, fashion and entertainment industries. The stage was set and the message clear: sustainability is the only way forward and Nike is fully invested, you should be too.
