Sneaker Impact collects used running shoes that would otherwise wind up in the trash.

Shoes that arrive at the company's warehouse are sorted to either be reused or recycled.

Shoes not shipped out for resale are crushed and given a second life as foam, rubber or textiles.

"Sneakers are a necessity in the developing world," CEO Moe Hachem says.
