This New Line Of Sneakers Not Only Looks Rad But Also Reduces Ocean Pollution

Good news, eco-conscious runners — adidas and Parley for the Oceans have teamed up to create a super-slick shoe that can help save our oceans.

Whether you're a total sneakerhead or not, you're probably familiar with the rad running shoes from adidas. (Duh.)

Well, now there's even more of a reason to get to know the sportswear brand: Turns out they not only create cool performance gear, but they're also leading the way to save our environment.

Together with Parley for the Oceans, adidas has teamed up to create forward-thinking sportswear that actually prevents plastic from entering our oceans!

The amount of plastic that makes its way into our coastlines is at an all-time high, and marine plastic pollution is rapidly becoming a global issue.

This innovative line of adidas Ultraboost sneakers features products made with Parley Ocean Plastic™: upcycled waste from beaches and coastal communities that is intercepted before it reaches the ocean.

The plastic is then transformed into yarn as a replacement for virgin plastic.

And then adidas turns it into shoes. Ultraboosts, specifically.

No joke. Each pair of shoes prevents approximately 11 plastic bottles from entering the ocean.

Also, look how freaking incred these shoes look.

Okay, so they're environmentally friendly shoes, you're thinking. So? I'm a SERIOUS RUNNER. Good news, friend: These shoes are made with adidas's BOOST cushioning, their most responsive yet.

And their continental outsole provides unrivaled traction.

Feeling these shoes? Of course you are. You can get your own pair on the adidas website right now.
