A 40-foot Matson shipping container holding donated used athletic shoes was lifted onto a ship to be taken to the mainland for recycling by Nike yesterday. Oahu schools and individuals dropped off approximately 6,000 pairs of shoes that will be shipped to Oregon and recycled into playground mats and various athletic surfaces by Nike. Although April 30 marked the first shoe drive in Hawaii for Nike's Reuse-a-Shoe program, the company has been offering the service to the public since 1999 and accepts unwanted athletic shoes at its Niketown store on Kalakaua Avenue.
