Nike GS, the Greenest Boot Made of Beans & Recycled Bottles
Nike has launched the Nike GS in London, a football cleat the company is heralding as the ‘lightest, fastest, most environmentally-friendly production boot the company has ever made.’

The lightweight shoe weighs in at a mere 160 grams and is made of form fitting recycled polyester, made from 95% recycled plastic bottles and with at least 77% castor beans, which require less water to grow than other natural materials. Just 2012 copies of the limited edition Nike GS football cleats will be manufactured and will be available via the company’s online shop beginning August 15th at a price of $300.
