German Sportswear company Adidas is on the cutting edge of fashion trends. Adidas is now creating state-of-the-art footgear and achieving its 'sustainability' goal by collaborating with Parley for the Oceans.
Adidas has made shoes from recycled ocean waste.
According to the company, "Last year, they 3D printed a prototype, with the goal of demonstrating how the industry could "rethink design and help stop ocean plastic pollution".
Now those shoes are available to public. 95% of the shoe's upper part is made of ocean plastic, taken from Maldives shore. The remaining part of the shoe is also made mostly out of recycled materials. These contemporary shoes have been called "UltraBOOST Uncaged Parley".
Adidas has made around 7,000 pairs that will be sold offline and online from mid-November. For Adidas fans in India, the company has set aside 60 pairs.
