Now Adidas has made shoes out of ocean plastic. These are wearable and stylish sneakers. Each pair is made from 11 reused plastic bottles, with the laces, heel linings and sock liner covers all made from other recycled materials. The shoes come in men’s and women’s sizes.

Adidas made the shoes in collaboration with the environmental initiative Parley for the Oceans. Shoes made from ocean plastic are just the beginning for the brand. Two years ago, Adidas switched from plastic bags to paper in its retail stores and as a result it has now eliminated about 70 million plastic shopping bags.

Adidas has also made headway in its efforts to cut per-employee water use and use more cotton sourced in an environmentally friendly way. Parley for the Oceans and Adidas have also collaborated to make other products such as tank tops, which are made from yarn that features Parley Ocean Plastic that’s created from recycled waste and leggings that are made of fabric that features Econyl regenerated yarn. With Adidas and other sports companies leading the way in creating a better environment, hopefully other brands will join too.

More than eight million tons of plastic are dumped into oceans every year. It’s feared that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the sea.
