New Balance<\/a> is entering the resale game as the Boston-based brand has announced the New Balance Reconsidered program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In an effort to combat more waste pouring into landfills and extend the shelf life of sneakers, New Balance Reconsidered allows customers to trade-in their pairs which are then cleaned, graded and sold through the Reconsidered platform. Those who trade in a pair are given credit based on the condition grade of the shoe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All products are inspected by Tersus Solutions, which uses a waterless cleaning technology and textile reclamation solutions for apparel and footwear, and are cleaned as needed.? <\/p>\n\n\n\n John Stokes, director of sustainability<\/a> at New Balance, acknowledged in a statement that the footwear industry has a \u201csignificant environmental impact,\u201d including too many products ending up in a landfill<\/a>. \u201c\u201cThere are many things that have to shift,\u201d New Balance Director of Sustainability John Stokes said<\/a> in relation to the industry’s environmental impact. \u201cLaunching Reconsidered is one piece of the puzzle with a program objective to help extend product life for some of our product and get the most from what is already made.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Balance Reconsidered is live now and available to U.S. customers at NewBalanceReconsidered.com<\/a>.
