Of all the careful measures taken by Nike to ensure a greener future, none is apparent as their Grind rubber. Signaled by flecks of recycled rubber shot into TPU material, Grind is the result of a process that relies on scraps of material left on the factory room floor, ground down into a meal of sorts, and utilized for future product.

Although this Air Jordan 1 Low for kids doesn’t feature the pinwheel logo at the insole (maybe the green accomplishes that?) — the unofficial marker for any sneaker release that focuses on sustainability — the effort is in plain sight as the Grind is used in the translucent TPU Swoosh and outsole. Jordan Brand adds a tint of a light emerald, matching it with the interior lining and contrasted with a bright laser orange/yellow overlay.

We anticipate more of this style of AJ1 to arrive in stores, so stay tuned for updates as we await official release details.
