Threat into Thread - adidas and Parley for the Oceans new trail running range

  • 27-APR-2018
  • CLEANS UP THE PAST. STANDS UP FOR THE FUTURE
Environmental challenges need creative solutions. Through sport, we want to inspire and activate an entire generation to become agents of change.
 
This is why adidas partners with Parley for the Oceans, a global network where creators, thinkers and leaders from the creative industries, brands, governments and environmental groups come together to raise awareness for the beauty and fragility of the oceans and collaborate on projects that can end their destruction. 
 
The collaboration aims to help spread awareness and transform plastic pollution into high performance sportswear. This partnership is already proving successful - after rising to the challenge in 2016, adidas’ innovation team won an Outdoor Industry Award for sustainability. But we’re not stopping there.
 
SS18 sees the launch of the first adidas TERREX capsule apparel range, designed for trail running and made from Parley Ocean Plastic ™ yarn - made from upcycled waste, intercepted before it reaches the ocean from beaches and coastal communities. Eco consciousness meets performance with the Agravic top and 2IN1 shorts - a technical trail running outfit that’ll help both you and the planet go the distance.
 
This is performance with purpose. Spinning the problem into a solution. The threat into a thread.
 
“As a creator brand, we believe that necessity drives innovation. Taking on these challenges makes us, our products and our athletes better, while doing less harm to the planet,” says TERREX Brand Director Stuart Wells.
