The Nike Interact Run Makes Sustainability-Minded Design More Accessible

What to know

• At $80, the Nike Interact Run provides runners a more affordable option for performance footwear designed with sustainability-in-mind. Made with at least 25% recycled material by weight, the shoe uses an injection process for the midsole foam to help reduce material waste during production when compared to compression molding. 
• The Flyknit upper is made with 85% recycled polyester, while the waffle outsole is made with at least 13% recycled rubber.
•  A QR code on the tongue invites runners to learn more about how the shoes were created, how Nike’s Care-Repair program helps extend the life of the shoes, and where runners can find a drop-off location to recycle or donate their pair.

Made with at least 25% recycled material by weight, the Nike Interact Run makes product designed with sustainability-in-mind more accessible for all runners. 

The injection process for the midsole foam helps reduce material waste during production when compared to compression molding, and that injection midsole foam gives a soft, supportive ride. The waffled outsole is made with at least 13% recycled rubber. 

The upper features solution-dyed Flyknit yarn, made with 85% recycled polyester. Flyknit weaving also helps decrease material waste — about 60% compared to traditional upper manufacturing. A QR code on the Interact Run tongue invites runners to learn more about how the shoes were created, how Nike’s Care-Repair program helps extend the life of the shoes, and where runners can find a drop-off location to recycle or donate their pair. 

The Nike Interact Run is available now on nike.com and at select retailers.
