Nike Considered — Going Cheap

It’s been a year since we wrote of Nike’s Considered footwear line, “In the end, we'll have to see whether this latest attempt by Nike is for real.” Well now would be a good time to decide for yourself, as at least two models are currently "On Sale" for less than their sticker price. If you are in Canada, MEC will provide you with the ‘Rock’ model (above) for $99 CAD, down from $145. It creates 63% less waste, requires 37% less energy in production than a comparable Nike light hiking shoe, while reducing solvent use by 80% compared to standard Nike products. We can’t confirm the exact specs for the ‘Mowabb II’ (below), but the intent is the same, and REI are selling it for $80 USD, discounted from $110.
