“The ‘Let Me Play’ initiative is an opportunity to make sure that kids with disabilities get a chance to play just like all the other kids. I know the power of sport in my own life – it has allowed me to feel comfortable in my skin, to feel strong, and to feel whole. I spent too many years of my childhood sitting on the sidelines feeling excluded, and I don’t want to see that happen to any other kids. I am proud to be part of a movement that gets people, especially those with disabilities, off the sidelines and into the game!”
- SARAH REINERTSEN, PARALYMPIC COMPETITOR, WORLD RECORD HOLDER

Every year, millions of pairs of athletic shoes are thrown away, clogging landfills and wasting a lot of good material. So we’ve created a solution to allow you to recycle your old shoes! Reuse-A-Shoe, part of our Let Me Play campaign, is one of Nike’s longest-running environmental and community programs, where worn-out athletic shoes of any brand are collected, processed and recycled into material used in sports surfaces like basketball courts, tennis courts, athletic fields, running tracks and playgrounds for young people around the world.
