adidas Football has revealed a new 'Parley Boot Pack' made in collaboration with the non-profit environmental organization Parley for the Oceans. Both entities have worked together since 2015 to launch innovative methods of reducing and addressing environmental concerns regarding plastic pollution.
These soccer shoes were made of Parley Ocean Plastic, which consists of recycled ocean plastic waste from remote islands, beaches, coastal communities, and shorelines. The soccer shoes featured with this material are on the Copa, Predator Accuracy, and X models. Each model has a lucid blue and white colorway. There is also a wave-patterned design placed across the lateral side and upper. Additionally, the soccer shoes are constructed to be lightweight and have a durable grip on the studs. The soccer shoes are available for purchase.
