Since 2014, the Three Stripes has been on a mission to use 100% recycled polyester in all of its products by 2024. Strategic partnerships with Parley for the Oceans, Allbirds and others have helped adidas make strides on the sustainability front. Yet, there’s plenty of work left to be done, and you’re invited to join in on the fun via on-going initiatives and new, eco-friendlier product launches (with several listed below). After all, it’s a “new year” – will there also be a new you?
Better yet, you can contribute to adidas’ recycling movement by donating used goods through the adidas Give Back program; get rewarded for giving out-of-use shoes and clothes–from any brand, in any condition–the chance to be resold or reused. Choose to give back exclusively on the adidas app. Learn more here.
What do you get when you combine over 70 years of heritage with the hunger to innovate from an eight-year-old brand?: The FUTURECRAFT.FOOTPRINT, a revolutionary sustainable performance-running sneaker from adidas and Allbirds. Debuted in a non-dyed “Cloud White,” the low-top silhouette delivers the perfect “clean slate” with which to tackle any New Year’s fitness goals head-on. And when considering the shoes have been created with at least 50% recycled content and with just 2.94 kg CO2 emissions, you’ll be helping out Earth while working on yourself – it’s a win win.
“NOTHING LEFT BEHIND” proclaims this TERREX FREE HIKER, whose bright pastels are the product of materials that would have otherwise gone to the landfill. And though made of leftovers, the shoe compromises little in the way of function, proffering all the waterproof performance, energy return, and grip that the TERREX line is known for.
Being on the topic of sustainability, we’d be remiss not to mention Parley, who – alongside adidas – have led the charge with their recycled, Earth-conscious sneakers. This blacked out UltraBOOST 21 is but one of their latest, and it’s sure to do you well for many miles and likely many years.
