Do you want to be ecologically aware? Then buy Adidas sneakers. Yes, you read that right. Adidas is going green with eco sports shoes made from marine waste and fishing nets. At the same time, the German manufacturer of sports shoes teamed up with the environmental organization Parley For The Oceans and produced concept sneakers that are almost entirely made of plastic marine waste and discarded fishing nets. Part of the fishing nets has an even more interesting story.
Adidas wants you to leave a green footprint when you buy sports shoes, so they made a concept one eco sneakers made from marine debris and discarded fishing nets. As mentioned, part of the nets used for slippers are not only nets that floated freely in the water as waste, but also those with a guerrilla background. It is about illegal gill nets, provided by the organization's activists The Sea Shepherds, also known as eco-terrorists, who are nets after 110 days of hunting seized from wild hunters on the West African coast, which he also hunted Interpol.

Adidas eco sports shoes, which from a bird's eye view look a bit like a map with isohypses, will be almost completely done from recycled plastic and green fibers from fishing nets, and the sole is made of renewable materials. Adidas has been many times in the past the target of criticism from the Greenpeace organization, saying that it pollutes the environment, but this will hopefully be a step in the right direction. It is true that the sneakers will probably not go into regular production, but the Germans swear that they will start using recycled fishing fibers in production from the very beginning in 2016.
