Sports group adidas has said it is preparing to unveil two new prototypes with Parley for the Oceans.

 The first features a midsole that’s made in part with recycled Boost energy-return material left over from production of other adidas shoes. The second new shoe contains wood waste in the upper and another Boost midsole concept, partially made with plant-based feedstocks.

Adidas said it had used “new exploratory design processes” to create these two prototypes as part of a quest to find alternatives to using virgin polyester.
