Nike and its earth-friendly footwear offerings from its “Move to Zero” initiative have been well-received from the market thus far, and so for Summer 2021, the Beaverton-based brand is building on its momentum by delivering even more iterations. The Swoosh has officially unveiled its warm weather lineup that includes the Air VaporMax 2021, the Nike Sportswear “Plant Cork” Pack and a crop of performance-focused models.

The all-new Nike VaporMax 2021 isn’t all that different from its predecessor when scoping out its overall shape, but it is deemed as one of the Swoosh’s most sustainable propositions to-date given that it’s engineered with at least 55% recycled content. Full-length VaporMax Air units are created with 75% recycled materials while the outsoles implement Nike Grind and the TPU heel and toe tips are crafted with 60 percent recycled materials. Air Max Pre-Day and Air Max Genome makeups, both of which have been modified with recycled uppers are also tossed into the mix.

Nike’s Sportswear division is also thrusting in a few colorways to the lineup including that of the Air Force 1, Blazer Mid and the Daybreak to form the “Plant Cork” Pack. Each take is manufactured with roughly 20% recycled content such as Recycled Poly Canvas, and comes mated with outsoles that are presented with 9% cork.

Elsewhere in the lineup you’ll find the Nike Crater Impact — a brand new model that’s built with crater soles and 25% recycled uppers — more Cosmic Unity colorways, and sustainably made Air Zoom SuperRep 2 Next Nature and the Nike Victory G Lite variations.

Expect all of these iterations to roll out over Summer 2021 via Nike and select retailers.
