The design seems to combine to two ocean threats in its construction: plastic and gillnet fishing or deep sea trawling. Researchers estimate that 4.8 billion metric tons of plastic end up in the Earth’s oceans each Nike Air Max 97 Mujer year. Even tiny pieces of plastic actually take a long time to degrade and get swept up into the ocean’s five circulating gyres reaching even the most remote waters. Deep-sea nets are illegal in many countries, and are made of very fine Nike Air Max 90 Womens twine, are designed to catch fish by their gills.
To combing the two into a shoe, Adidas teamed up with a conservation organization called Parley for the Oceans. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society retrieved the basic materials that went into the top of the shoe. On a 110-day expedition, they collected plastic from the depths and confiscated gillnets from an illegal Adidas Ultra Boost Femme fishing boat that they tracked down off the west coast of Africa, as Kate Sierzputowski writes for This is Colossal. Recycled plastic went into the upper shoe structure, and threads from the green nets were knitted into the top Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 33 Mujer to create a colorful accent. For a shoe made from garbage, the design is pretty stylish, as Sarah Barnes points out over at My Modern Met.
The new shoe is a single piece of foam stitched onto a knit upper. Nike says it will give 13 per Asics Gel Lyte 5 Womens cent more bounce than its next-most-advanced foam sole, and the new shoe is durable and soft.
Unlike the basketball shoes, Nike has left the foam of the new shoe completely exposed. Though the shoe is marketed as a running platform, this open design stays in line with its stylish contemporaries.
The new foam style has several advantages. There is the running aspect as it is lightweight and offers superior energy return with every step. It is also soft and durable, which makes the shoes comfortable to walk around in. This has been a major selling point for Adidas’ versions.
After Adidas' Nike Roshe Run Mujer Negras impressive years in North America, Nike and Under Armour can no longer ignore the three stripes.
Adidas’ sales in the United States grew more than 30 per cent in 2017, the company told Bloomberg, while the other two brands have seen Asics Gel Lyte 5 Mujer disappointing sales. Adidas has expanded its Boost soles up and down its product line in the meantime.
Call it the foam wars. Nike and Under Armour are both releasing their next-generation, foam-based running shoes this month – but Adidas has enjoyed a five-year head start.
The two companies have been forced to follow in Adidas’ footsteps as it has run away with one of the few sectors of the sportswear market that is growing rapidly: lifestyle running.
Adidas basically created the category in 2015 when it released its UltraBoost line of shoes, which were built on the Boost platform it had developed Nike Air Zoom Mariah Flyknit Racer Mujer two years earlier.
