The service is already available in some stores in the United States and will soon be in 15 locations. The American multinational presents the initiative as an example of a circular economy.

Nike’s idea is to recover shoes returned by customers within 60 days of purchase, inspect them, and if the products can still be sold, they will be refurbished and manually disinfected.

According to the company, Nike Refurbished will have three categories: “Like New,” “Lightly Used,” and “With Cosmetic Defect” for shoes with manufacturing problems. The price will depend on the category.
