I've heard that new Adidas running shoes are being released made from plastic collected from the ocean.
It is an attempt by the brand to make environmentally friendly products. They want to reduce the amount of plastic in the oceans and use it for a good purpose. The prototype of the shoe looks quite nice so it could be a success. What do you think?
Read more about it here:
The prototype aims to raise awareness for protection of the seas.

I bet their prices are not reflected in their shoes. I would never buy their over priced products. After all most are made in sweat shops in China and one pair would probably be twice as much as a worker would earn in a month.

@garymarsh6 I fully agree Gary, I would never buy their shoes, even if the fiancee of my niece works for Adidas.

I think we need to make people aware that the oceans need to be protected. My daughter and I have done a lot of beach cleanups and all the plastic and other items that we have removed from the beach is terrible.
Would I wear the shoes? I'm not sure, as my walking shoes need to fit correctly and be comfortable. The only way I would know is to try them on first.

It's really a good idea...I hope that it will reduce the plastic deposits in the ocean at least by a small amount..
