Nike Air Max 180 Carbon Footprint for Nike Air Max 180 (Made in Vietnam)

Added by bbrady and modified about five months ago.

Nike makes many claims to be progressive in "green materials" and "sustainability". In the past, many allegations of labor abuse have come up and they seem to be taking a proactive approach to eliminating this as well as to make a conscious effort to use quality materials in at least some of their shoes. They happen to be my favorite type of shoes and I am taking apart one of my older pairs to see if I can find whether or not they are living up to their claims.
