So I wanted to see if I could replicate the results… turns out, Nike Slides DEFINITELY shrink in the heat caused by the sun in a closed car. I was pretty shocked to see how much they do in fact shrink. The pair I tested (size 9 mens) shrunk 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) in total after sitting in my car for 10 days! After doing some digging I found a research paper that clearly outlined that Slides are made out of a material called EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate).I’m not 100% sure why the foam shrinkis, but if I had to guess it’s because the foam is actually melting and the small air pockets that make the foam are collapsing or condensing into a smaller more compact form of EVA. u.osu.edu/nikeshoes/raw-materials en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene-vinyl_acetate Follow Nick Uhas Instagram: instagram.com/nickuhas Twitter: twitter.com/nickuhas Facebook: facebook.com/uhasbrand Nickipedia Website: NickipediaLive.com #Nike #Slides #shrink Production Team: Writer/Producer: Nick Uhas Best Girl: Opal Roo (the dog)
