Nike Space Hippie
Space Hippie, a step in Nike's journey to re-imagining the ways in which we create products we love.
Space Hippie is an exploratory footwear collection inspired by life on Mars—where materials are scarce and there is no resupply mission. Created from scraps, or "space junk", Space Hippie is the result of sustainable practices meeting radical design. The Space Hippie shoe uses Nike Flynit yarn, a material made from 90% recycled content including plastic bottles, t-shirts, and post-industrial scraps. Space Hippie also has the mission of reducing its environmental impact by eliminating the Nike double box packaging and using a single box made of recycled content.
