Recently, the children of Biyun primary school in Wuhan ushered in two brand-new Nike grind courts, the Nike "concentric shoe strength" basketball court. In August this year, Nike launched the first "Nike used shoes recycling program" for national consumers. After more than two months of intense construction, old nike shoes from consumers all over the country have been processed by Nike grind technology and become part of Biyun primary school basketball court.

Biyun primary school is one of more than 200 schools in Hubei supported by the "moving forward" public welfare project. "Just move forward" project is jointly sponsored by Nike and China Youth Development Foundation. In the autumn semester this year and the spring semester of next year, the "just go ahead" project will help children in Hubei get back on the right track through customized psychological counseling and sports courses.

The "Nike used shoes recycling program" has won the support of consumers across the country. The used nike shoes recovered from online and offline stores are disassembled and reprocessed by Nike grind technology to produce rubber particles for laying the court. Nike is committed to better protect the future of sports by effectively coping with climate change. The construction of Nike's "concentric shoe force" basketball court is another attempt to promote the "move to zero" program and encourage more people to participate in environmental protection.
