Asics has launched a new road running shoe that's made to be easily disassembled and recycled once it reaches the end of its life. The The Asics Nimbus Mirai uses a special glue that provides a secure hold, but allows the shoe to be pulled apart so the upper can be removed from the sole.
Recycling running shoes is usually difficult because of the combination of different materials that are hard to separate and process, but the Mirai (a Japanese word meaning 'future') is made with a uniform polyester construction with no overlays, making it much easier to manage.
