Eugene, Ore. – More than 800 pairs of used athletic shoes have already been collected during this year’s Step in the Right Direction initiative. The initiative benefits Playing for Kicks and Nike Reuse-A-Shoe. Both organizations hope to create social and environmental change through athletics.

Nike Reuse-A-Shoe works to recycle old shoes, while Playing for Kicks acts as a shoe distributer, passing on slightly worn shoes to needy athletes. Donation bins are located throughout UO athletic centers, including the Rec Center. The initiative will continue to run throughout the month of June.
