Adidas x Parley sustainability rating
Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We Avoid) to 5 (Excellent). How we rate
Adidas x Parley is a collaboration that turns intercepted ocean plastic into performance footwear and apparel. The shoes use Parley Ocean Plastic uppers made from recycled waste collected from beaches and coastal communities, with a lower-energy, lower-water production process than conventional sneakers. The range spans running shoes, Ultraboost models, and casual sneakers with wide size availability. As a sub-line of a fast-fashion giant, the overall environmental impact of Adidas as a whole remains a fair criticism.
