After the display ends, the Youth Coalition will deliver the shoes for recycling to Nike Grind. The Nike Grind program collects old athletic shoes, breaking them down and re-using them to create sports floors and tracks. For example, they use the granulated foam in shoes for synthetic basketball courts, tennis courts and playground surfacing tiles. The granulated fabric from the shoe uppers becomes the padding under hardwood basketball floors. Any unusable athletic shoes will be recycled through the Nike Grind program. The youth coalition is a program for high schoolers youth interested in social change. They are nearing their goal of the 1200 shoes needed for their display.
