Sneakers & Pollution

Nike Plastic Product Endangering Coral Reefs Science News

Unfortunately for the planet, one of the most important material that goes into a sneaker is plastic. A non-biodegradable and pretty much indestructible material that is light weight and flexible for various uses.

As a result of being used in so many things, often times it gets discarded very irresponsibly. Ultimately that plastic ends up in the sensitive natural habitats such as the forest and oceans. Not only does it choke wildlife but also destroys habitats such as coral reefs.

In 2019 alone, 20 billion sneakers have been sold world-wide and perhaps even more have been manufactured. Those sneakers then end up in the oceans and seas.

BBC has reported hundreds of sneakers washing up on sores of tropical islands such as Hawaii and Maldives among many. Nike’s “Move to Zero” initiative is an excellent way to counter this problem and move to the right direction. As a side effect, this also encourages other companies to do the same.

Although plastic isn’t the only problem, stitching and glues can also be a pain to get rid of. Collectively, masses of rubbish that includes these materials are accumulating on ocean surfaces.

Nike however, seems to be leading the way for change.

The Nike ‘Space Hippie’ lineup is one of a kind when it comes to sneaker technology. Although Nike has been doing it for a long time, it certainly is not to the scale of this lineup.

The VaporMax for example, has used the Flyease technology which uses lesser materials and recycled polyester. Not only is this an economic decision for Nike, the overall production leaves a smaller carbon foot print on the planet.

The Space Hippie lineup takes that to the next level. These shoes are made up of at least 50% of recycled materials in weight and use 90% of recycled polyester.

The addition of the Nike Space Hippie 04 Lemon Venom proves that Nike is going all in with this collection. As this trend catches on, which is likely, this will significantly reduce the over-all carbon footprint of the entire sneaker industry.

Luckily the Space Hippie lineup has been a massive success and is highly sought after. People are paying crazy high resale prices for a lot of these space hippie sneakers.

To estimate the resale value of the Nike Space Hippie 04 Lemon venom, let’s head on over to StockX.

Estimated Resell

Although most sneakers within the space hippie lineup are highly profitable, the Space hippie 04 is the least hyped out of all of them. That’s not to say that they’re bricks, however, I’d only expect minor profits for now.

To get your money back on StockX, you’ll need to sell the Nike Space Hippie 04 Lemon Venom for at least $155. Thus by using my estimated resell value, expect profits of around $$25.

By selling on eBay, you’ll be eligible for the 10% fee exemption, making profits of up to $50 possible.

Where to Cop

You can buy the Space Hippie 04 Lemon venom at Nike and select retailers on August the 20th. I Still expect these to sell out fast so bring your A game!
