You can help set a Guinness World Record!

Send us your old sneakers! Help us create the world’s longest chain of shoes!

Athletic shoes will be donated to the Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program, which recycles old and unusable shoe material into basketball and tennis courts, soccer fields, and running tracks. Your used athletic shoes will help set a record, keep trash out of landfills, and build places for kids to play.
