They can fill Nike shoes with gold and charge $20 - I still wouldn’t buy them

I suddenly thought it was April fools reading this headline, wish it was! Bad move Nike thought we were trying to reduce the amount of plastic in the environment 😞

Is this a TheOnion article? nottheonion plasticpollution PlasticWaste shame on you nike

They're actually the wishes of all the tiny child workers

Really Nike!? What happens when a shoe splits and the beads get into the environment? Or does the bottom line matter more than the environment? Anyone who cares about the environment and the future of this planet should not buy these shoes

Do they have little tiny slave laborers to work with the beads?

In this day and age, a joke surely? As soon as they split, which they inevitably will, more bits of plastic dispersed far and wide - on countryside footpaths, just where the stuff isn't needed. Ban them.

More plastic garbage.

Plastic pollution!! Bam them, before they launch!

Plastic beads? Seriously, Nike?

And?

Won’t be buying these so - No to plastic beads .... Fail from Nike !!!!

Hope the beads don’t end up in our water bodies Nike

nope nope nope

Why don’t I get them impression these micro beads are about recycling! Everyone is trying to reduce the plastic not include it!

Another reason not to wear Nike.

so how will they be recycled t avoid a pollution problem?

Will these gimmicks never end.

More plastic beads? Just what the oceans need, right?

That’s how they moving product. That MDMA right there. For real

Really Nike ? What a stupid idea. What will the environmental impact be when all these trainers start splitting?

Great, tiny plastic beads. Every pair thrown away kills a filter feeder at some point in the next 500 years. But dead comfy tho!!

For some very good clients, ready to pay, did nike think about putting real pearls ? or caviar ? 😝

If they’re plastic, fuck Nike.

Loads of jobs for bead counters 😂

No

They should replace beads with boba..😂

More plastic micro beads to add to the planet.

Tiny beads wow.

The whole shoe industry needs to implement strategies to develop and incorporate bio-degradable fabrics, components and materials within their ranges.

After microbeads were banned?

There’s a stupid micro bead idea

Sounds great for the environment

Did Nike not get the memo about beads?

That doesn't seem environmentally conscious

And that's going to be great for the oceans in years to come 👎🏻

I thought microbeads were one of the environment's worst scourge and had to be eliminated asap. Enlightened choice, then!

A Betsy Ross flag shoe falsely claimed to be a racist symbol is pulled and an environmentally destructive shoe filled with plastic beads goes forward. You’ve got to be some kind of stupid to buy Nike products.

The fish are gonna love 'em.

more plastic for the oceans

Nike's anti-environment gesture... tiny beads.

Exfoliate the ground?

And all the beads will end up spilling all over the ground.

I thought they cared about the environment?
