With its focus on reducing waste and utilizing environmentally friendly materials, Nike's new Air Jordan XX3 could well be the very first "green" shoe to drop in the team sports footwear market. Rather than using environmentally toxic adhesives and glues, the shoe is constructed with a pioneering system of interlocking panels - a design that required brand new machines for production. With a price tag of nearly $200, it's unlikely that you'll want to wear these for your weekly pickup games: Most likely they'll be reserved for fashion-forward, off-court activities.
