Parley A.I.R. —  Avoid. Intercept. Redesign.

This is your chance to inspire change.

About the adidas x Parley shoe

 

This is the first shoe ever made using Parley Ocean Plastic®. The gillnet used to create the adidas x Parley shoe was intercepted by Sea Shepherd during Operation Icefish, a record-breaking mission to protect sea life from illegal fishing in the Southern Pacific.

The shoe has been created with adidas' most innovative production method: adidas Tailored Fibre Technology, a revolutionary manufacturing technique that enables unique footwear designs to be tailored to the individual needs of any athlete.

A prototype of the shoe was introduced at the UN x Parley launch event “Oceans. Climate. Life.” held at the United Nations on June 29, 2015.

 
 

  *Please use your participating country's adidas account name. All are welcome to support the movement by posting a video pledge, but you must be located in one of the following countries to be eligible to earn a pair of shoes: France; Russia; Germany; Australia; Indonesia; Philippines; UK; US and Spain.

**Check out adidas channels for full legal terms, eligibility requirements, and entry deadlines.
