Who wants Nick Carter’s dirty shoes? How about his dirty shoes signed by every member of the Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block? The recent NKOTBSB tour of arenas and stadiums prove there are still thousands of fans who would. Now, add to that a charitable angle and that’s some good dirt.
The Backstreet Boy has come up with a great way to preserve his prized sneakers and continue to help raise awareness about the destruction that mankind is reaping on the environment. And it just might lead to a permanent non-profit, Nick’s Dirty Kicks, somewhere down the road. But for now, it’s all about a pair of used shoes.
During a recent stop in Toronto to promote his solo album, I’m Taking Off, Carter told Samaritanmag that he just came up with the idea the other day.

Nick Carter is primed for takeoff. Or to be more precise, relaunch.
The blond Backstreet Boy’s brand-spanking solo album I’m Taking Off arrived last week, nearly nine years after its predecessor Now or Never. But that gap is no accident, he says.
“Basically, you could say I got cold feet in a sense,” the 31-year-old New Yorker said during a press stop in Toronto. “I took a look at everything around me and saw the direction it was going and said, ‘No, this is not the right time.’
“There are so many things that you need to have in order to develop a solo career. No. 1, you need to know who you are. You have to have a sense of who you are, and who you want the world to know you as. You also have to know the kind of music you want to do. You have to have your mind set. I didn’t. And back then, as a person, I was overweight, I had a lot of issues with drinking and partying and depression. I had all sorts of crazy stuff I was dealing with. That right there is just a recipe for disaster. I basically didn’t take it as seriously as I should have.”

In a recent interview with Artist Direct AJ talks a bit about the new BSB album that they will work on after the NKOTBSB tour.
What’s next for you in terms of new music?
We’ve taken a couple of meetings with some different producers. We’re gearing up to go back in the studio in the fall to make the next Backstreet Boys record. We’ve got some great surprises for that record which will hopefully be announced on the cruise ship so the fans can look forward to that. We’ll probably be back in the studio in mid-October. We’re hoping to have a single out next spring and drop the album in the summer of 2012.
