To promote the brand's 23-year-old Reuse-a-Shoe recycling program, Nike teamed with ManvsMachine to create an impressive motion graphics spot that shows the lifespan of a pair of Nike sneakers through up to their eventual recycling. Playing on the "sole" and "soul" pun, the clip features a kind of whimsical recycling machine that uses baseball bats, tennis rackets, and basketballs to turn used Nike sneakers into Nike Grind, a field building material.

For the latest video from their album WIXIW, Liars used a hacked Kinect camera, and open source software to manipulate video footage into what looks like an evolving and morphing graphic map. The clip is actually a sequel of sorts, and according to director Markus Wambsganss, the video is the next step in the triptych style the band started in the "The Other Side Of Mt. Heart Attack" video.

WIXIW is out now on Mute, and Liars will be touring through the middle of June.
