<p>The sports retailer has teamed up with Parley for the Oceans – an environmental group that raises awareness of marine pollution – to design prototype shoes made from plastic floating in the sea.</p>
<p>Now 7,000 pairs of the UltraBOOST Uncaged Parley are set to hit adidas’s stores and websites as part of the company’s effort to raise awareness of environmental pollution.</p>
<p>The shoes feature a knitted upper part – created with 95% recycled materials from Parley Ocean Plastic collected from coastal areas around the Maldives and 5% recycled polyester – in a design that’s inspired by ocean waves.</p>
<p>The laces, heel cap base material, heel webbing, heel lining and the sock liner cover are also made from recycled items.</p>
<p><i>“This represents another step on the journey of adidas and Parley for the Oceans,”</i> says adidas executive Eric Liedtke.</p>
<p><i>“But we won’t stop there. We will make one million pairs of shoes using Parley Ocean Plastic in 2017 – and our ultimate ambition is to eliminate virgin plastic from our supply chain.”</i></p>
<p>As well as the Parley trainers, the sportswear giant is using recycled ocean waste to make limited-edition football kits for Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.</p>
<p><i>“We have not only managed to make footwear from recycled ocean plastic, but have also created the first jersey coming 100% out of the ocean,”</i> Liedtke adds.</p>
<p>As part of its 2017 targets, adidas aims to recycle 11 million bottles – collected from coastal areas – into elite performance sportswear.</p>
<p>According to Ocean Crusader, there are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean and four billion plastic microfibres per square kilometre are scattered across the deep sea.</p>
<p>Priced at £139.95, the shoes will be available from adidas stores and online in mid-November.</p>
