At this point, Adidas’ use of sustainable materials seems almost unremarkable. From its ongoing partnership with Parley and commitment to eliminate virgin plastics, to its use of sustainable cotton and vegan leather, the sportswear giant is leaning in with a steady stream of conscious products. What is remarkable is quality of the footwear and apparel Adidas creates using recycled materials. The Ultraboost 21 x Parley running shoe is the latest example. Adidas revamped the recently released ULTRABOOST 21 using sustainable dye technology and upcycled plastic waste reclaimed from the ocean – without sacrificing performance. The upper combines ripstop, mesh and woven materials sourced from Parley, with no virgin polyester. This sustainable design works alongside Adidas’ proprietary BOOST tech, which promises increased energy return from every stride.
