Parley for the Oceans, a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding solutions to ocean plastic pollution through sustainable design, is one of the primary brands driving adidas‘ sustainability initiatives.
Introducing its latest offering, a special take on the ZX 8000 archival runners, as part of a longstanding partnership. The adidas ZX 8000, previously seen in a Kawasaki motorbike-inspired iteration, is now available in Parley’s high-performance yarn, which contains at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic and comes in white, sail, cream, and black.
The grooved eyestay webbing is made entirely of ocean plastic from gill nets, the sock liner is made of soft recycled ORTHOLITE, and the quarter webbing and stripes are made entirely of Dominican Republic-intercepted plastics. Cork insoles and cream-toned Torsion soles complete the environmentally friendly design.
The adidas ZX 8000 Parley are expected to arrive on May 3 at the adidas’ website and select retailers for $160 USD.
