As part of its Boundless Girls initiative, designed to inspire increased engagement in sporting activities, US sports company Nike has teamed up with China-based designer Susan Fang to build a sustainability minded basketball court at Gucheng Elementary School in the country’s Yunnan province.

Expanding on plans to recycle pre-worn athletic footwear on-site at another recently developed “eco-sports field”, also in Yunnan, the brand has employed its new Grind technology to construct the court with material from post-consumer sports shoes.   

The business reported revenues of $51.2 billion for the 12 months ended May 31 back in June, representing year-on-year growth of 10%.
