Kardinal Offishal doing his part with Nike!
Celebrities and Athletes Help Nike leave a Lasting Footprint on Vancouver
Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe program turns Vancouverites’ old running shoes into new court surface
VANCOUVER, Feb. 19 /CNW/ – Today, Canadian recording artist Kardinal Offishall stopped by the Nike Robson street store to show his support for Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe drive by recycling his old running shoes. Yesterday, Team Canada members Gillian Apps, Jayna Hefford and Jennifer Botterill dropped off their old running shoes to support the drive as well.
In partnership with the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC), Nike announced its plans to refurbish a court surface in Vancouver with a collection of re-purposed, old running shoes.
Throughout the 2010 Winter Games, Nike will collect old running shoes from Vancouverites and athletes in six Reuse-A-Shoe collection bins located inside partner stores throughout the city. The shoes collected from these bins will be recycled into Nike Grind, a material used in creating athletic and playground surfaces, as well as select Nike products. Since the program’s inception in the early 1990’s, more than 24 million pairs of shoes, plus thousands of tons of scrap material from footwear manufacturing, have been rescued from landfills around the world and reborn in to play surfaces.
Nike invites everyone to recycle their old running shoes at the following locations:
– Nike Robson / 1124 Robson Street / Vancouver / 604.683.2221
– Nike Metrotown / 1222-4700 Kingsway / Burnaby / 604.430.6453
– Nike Richmond / 1592-6551 No. 3 Road / Burnaby / 604.276.0015
– Nike Park Royal / 1592-6551 No. 3 Road / Burnaby / 604.276.0015
– Nike Kerrisdale / 2120 W. 41st Avenue / Vancouver / 604.264.1246
– Nike Oakridge / 650 W. 41st Avenue / Vancouver / 604.267.1972
Nike is the Official Supplier of High Performance Sporting Goods for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

I think what Ronnie Fieg and the guys over at Cultureshoq.com are doing is such a great initiative! Sneakerheads for HAITI. You can get to own this 1 of 1 unreleased Asics x Culture Shoq collaboration by bidding on EBAY. All the proceeds will go to the Wyclef Foundation to Help Haiti.
It was the first prototype for the Asics X Cultureshoq collabo that dropped last year. This is a size 9 and the only pair that exists. 100% of the proceeds will go to “WYCLEF’S YELE HAITI FOUNDATION“. Shipping cost is $20 in the USA.
CHARITY IN DUBAI: Dubai may be having a tough time, but today local women will be able to shop and support a good cause. Organized by the U.K.-based charity organization Whatever It Takes, the two-day fund-raising-sale event takes place at the Palm Jumeirah, on one of the man-made islands that have since become a symbol of Dubai’s extravagance. On sale are original, one-of-a-kind or limited edition artwork, clothing, accessories and homeware specially designed for and donated to Whatever It Takes by the likes of Giorgio Armani, Donna Karan, Tamara Mellon of Jimmy Choo, Lucy Liu, Nicole Kidman, Coldplay and Samuel L. Jackson. Prices range from $25 for a mug, to $220 for a watch.
According to Charlotte di Vita MBE, founder of Whatever It Takes, what is unique about this form of fund-raising is that “the currency is not really measured in U.S. dollars, but in the equivalent benefits. A similar sale in Doha, held last December at the W Doha for example, raised the equivalent of 40,000 meals for street children in South Africa.” Di Vita cited items by Sir Paul Smith and Armani among the bestsellers at the Doha event, but added that Kanye West was also a close second and is bound to be popular in Dubai. “His drawing is kind of funky,” she said.
