Get in the Game. Drop Off Your Kicks.

Clean out your closet, take a peek under the bed and ask your friends and family – chances are, you'll find a few pairs of kicks lying around that have seen better days.

When it's time to say goodbye, bring your athletic shoes to any Nike Reuse-A-Shoe drop-off location – there are more than 200 locations in eight countries around the world, including all U.S. Nike stores.

You can also mail your worn-out sneakers directly to our recycling facility. Please note that Nike cannot pay for individuals' shipping costs. Mail them to:

What Should You Know?

  • Please limit in-store drop-offs to 10 pairs of shoes at a time to prevent overwhelming our collection bins. 
  • If you can, bring your shoes to a drop-off location rather than mailing them. This helps consolidate shipments to our facility, which results in a smaller carbon footprint for the program.
  • We can only accept shipments at our recycling facility. Please do not mail shoes to our retail stores.
  • Remember, athletic shoes and LIVESTRONG wristbands only. We can’t recycle shoes with metal parts, mud or water, cleats, dress shoes, sandals or flip-flops, or wristbands from other brands.

Want to do more? If you live near a Nike store, you may also be able to host a Reuse-A-Shoe drive with your group or school. Learn more and apply now
