What are my shoes made of?

I have never been asked about what my Nike tennis shoes are made of so I started looking up the info related
to it, and I found these interesting facts.

 First the polyester, 19 percent of the polyester Nike uses is recycled. Nike helped recycle 82 million plastic
water bottles to make polyester out of. The world cup jerseys Nike made in 2010 were 100% recycled
polyester each using eight plastic bottles. The solid plastic bottles are broken down into pieces and then
melted to a liquid when they are then made into polyester strands.

The next main material Nike uses is rubber, environmentally preferred rubber. This altered rubber is made by
incorporating more benign accelerators and vegetable oils. Eva foam is a very environmentally friendly material
used in many shoes. The main producers of Eva Foam are located in China.

The next material Nike widely uses is cotton. Organic cotton means that it is harvested without chemical
pesticides, no fertilizer, and defoliants.

Synthetic leather is also used often in Nike products. Synthetic leather is a man made fabric that is made to
look and feel like real leather but function better than real leather.

Most of their products are assembled in China, or India.

Now I think, I have a better knowledge about the tennis shoes I am wearing.
