Adidas ocean waste sneaker to enter mass production

29/09/2016
Adidas is to release one million pairs of its running shoe made from recycled ocean waste by the end of 2017.

The adidas x Parley sneaker is the result of a collaboration between the German manufacturer and ocean conservation organisation Parley for the Oceans. 

It was launched earlier in 2016 with a limited run of 50 pairs, which were available to selected social media users who demonstrated their commitment to stop using single-use plastic items.

The shoes are made entirely from recycled plastic, with each upper containing 16.5 old plastic bottles as well as nylon from discarded fishing nets.
