Ocean Plastic® by Parley meets the fastest-ever adidas silhouette

 
 
 

You don't need to sacrifice performance for purpose. Olympic champions Wayde van Niekerk and Shaunae Miller-Uibo competed in the 2017 IAAF World Championships wearing the first running spike made from Ocean Plastic® by Parley. Both athletes made it to the finals and onto the podium, with Wayde taking gold in the men's 400m and Shaunae racing to 3rd place in the women's 200m. Learn more

adidas has also integrated Ocean Plastic® into the adizero Prime Parley, a fast-focused, elite running shoe with the same engine and construction as adidas’ marathon world-record setting model. The shoe is now available in limited quantities in the US. Learn more
