Last week I decided to invest in a much needed pair of running shoes, and I came across this item on Danny Seo.   As Danny recommended, I boxed up and recycled my old New Balance sneakers in the box that my new sneakers came in, and using a paper bag as packing paper, I wrapped them up, and wrote this address on the box:

Nike Recycling Center
c/o Reuse-A-Shoe
26755 SW 95th Ave.
Wilsonville, OR 97070

Then, Annabelle and I drove over to the post office and shipped my old sneakers away.   It just warms my heart to know that some kid that falls down at the playground just might have a softer fall since my old sneakers’ rubber will be part of the astrturf.
