Saving The Ocean Has Never Felt So Comfortable

Making a positive change for the planet and local communities are two things we are passionate about here at MakerClub.

We’ve been following Adidas’ concept for a trainer that combined two of the brand’s recent technologies. Their most recent concept trainer features an upper made using waste plastic filtered out of the oceans and a 3D-printed midsole created from recycled fishing nets.

Not only is this invention doing good for the planet, but it looks totally comfortable and unique!

This eco friendly trainer is part of Adidas’ ongoing partnership with Parley for the Oceans, an initiative that encourages creatives to repurpose ocean waste and raise awareness of the growing issue. Adidas have demonstrated an interest in backing this cause before having revealed a sports shoe made entirely from ocean waste last year.

We are actually seeing more sports brands adopting 3D printing technology in recent times. Could 2016 be the year of 3D printed shoes for the masses? We’d love to run our next Brighton marathon in these bad boys!
