AZ Awards 2026 People's Choice in Design, Interior Products: Hero Rubber made with Nike Grind

Since 1992, Nike Grind has given discarded footwear and manufacturing scrap a second life as high-performance materials. Mohawk Group harnessed this technology to create Hero Rubber made with Nike Grind, a flooring collection that challenges every assumption about a material once relegated to gyms and back-of-house corridors. This design-forward solution arrives in three styles that vary granule size to achieve distinct aesthetic effects: Original delivers a uniform
granular texture, Vitality introduces a mid-scale composition, and Axis pushes into bold large-scale graphic territory. Available in 17 colourways in tiles and rolls, the product is FloorScore certified and Declare Red List Free.
