We’re all very familiar with adidas’ shoe designs, the NMDs have become a fashion staple as well as the legendary Superstars.

But if you’re both in love with shoes, the environment and making a statement then you may have just been granted the greatest collaboration of the year.

Have a look at the new adidas X Parley UltraBOOST sneakers

Swanky, right?

The special thing about these new shoes isn’t just their eccentric new design or oceanic blue colour, but that they also contribute in saving our oceans.

Talk about multi-purpose.

How, you ask?

The joint venture was established a few years ago.

Parley, already playing a major part in cleaning up and recycling tons of the ocean’s plastic, created, along with adidas, Parley Ocean Plastic™, which forms the base of the shoes Primeknit upper material.

And 95% of the shoe has been constructed by the recycled material, which equates to approximately 11 plastic bottles – bottles that could potentially have entered our oceans.

‘From threat to thread’

So the final finish isn’t just inspired by the ocean’s colours but actually helps save it too.

“At adidas, we believe that sport has the power to change lives and the Run For The Oceans movement truly reflects this. We have created a unique global platform that gives everyone the opportunity to impact their lives by joining a collective running movement that fights marine plastic pollution. Seeing the adidas family unite for a shared purpose is what makes the campaign so powerful.”

Andre Maestrini, the general manager of Adidas Sports Business Units

And look at the meaningful collaboration’s latest instalment to the collection…

Behold, the new Parley UltraBOOST 4.0 running shoe.

Again, designed with love from Parley Ocean Plastic™ material

But this time with an eccentric mix of blue.

Beautiful!
