Adidas launches the first fully recycled sneaker with which it intends to confront pollution in the oceans and lend a hand to the environment. In fact, this model , named AM4LA, has been manufactured with 100% recycled materials within the Parley Ocean Plastic movement, which creates products that respect our oceans, in the production line of its SPEEDFACTORY factory in Germany. It is a high performance shoe with a high level of flexibility and energy return in the tread.

As we said its upper is 100% recycled, it is a system that creates threads from plastic bottles, thanks to this, for each running shoe made by this system we will avoid that 11 plastic bottles contaminate our seas, since the bottles with which they are manufactured are collected from our coasts.

The Adidas AM4LA are characterized by potential and flexibility in which the production capabilities of SPEEDFACTORY are integrated within the movement of the three stripes firm, Parley Ocean Plastic®.
