Steve Nash – Zoom BB II Low Trash Talk:
Nash goes ‘green’ with his All-Star shoe. The upper is made of recycled scrap leathers and synthetics which have been cut into individual pieces and cross-stitched together. Foam scraps were ground to create the midsole and the outsole is formed from reground rubber.
