These adidas shoes take things back to Southern California in the '70s, a time when climate activism and skate culture first collided in a burst of rebellious optimism. The sun-bleached look and salt-stained colours play out on an upper that's made in part with Parley Ocean Plastic — all riding on a natural rubber midsole and outsole. Bringing visibility into their process, a QR code allows you to see exactly where the recycled plastic came from, and all the steps of the process until they got to you.
This shoe's upper is made with a high-performance yarn which contains at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic — reimagined plastic waste, intercepted on remote islands, beaches, coastal communities and shorelines, preventing it from polluting our ocean. The other 50% of the yarn is recycled polyester.
