Nike GS2 Story: From Bean to Boot
Nike send us on an animated journey, detailing the creation of the GS2. The comic style Bean to Boot story captures Nike's work behind creating the greenest boot on the planet. Constructed with recycled materials, built with ACC tech and armed with a bio-based traction plate, these aren't your average boots!
The GS2 is Nike's lightest, fastest and greenest boot. They're a reinvention of the modern football boot, optimized to reduce weight and waste. Originally billed as a limited edition concept boot, the GS2 has quickly become one of the hottest boots on the planet. 
Engineered in Italy, the Nike GS 2 features recycled and renewable materials throughout the upper and plate design. A bio-based traction plate made primarily from castor beans ensures strength and flexibility on pitch, alongside a sock liner made from 100% castor beans. The boot laces, lining and tongue are made from a minimum of 70% recycled materials. The toeboard and collar, feature at least 15% recycled materials.
The GS2 sole-plate combines a high performance chassis with a strong responsive and agile form. The plate is made of 50% renewable Pebax® Rnew (a plant derived material made with 97% castor beans) and 50% TPU, made from renewable materials.
A solvent-free Kanga-Lite synthetic upper provides zonal reinforcement for exceptional touch and control. The synthetic upper also supports lockdown on midfoot and arch area. The lightweight and chemical-free sock liner is made of 100% castor beans and eliminates any layers for a snug fit and enhanced touch on the ball.
