Asics Gel Lyte 3 Womens

Adidas has presented a new shoe with biodegradable material that has been designed to decompose a few hours after its extraction with the help of a solution of water and enzyme.
The only one that has: the current design seems to be attached to a foam sole, which suggests that a large part of the footwear would still end up in a landfill.
Adidas' Futurecraft Biofabric was presented at the Biofabricate conference last week in New York. The unique design features a Nike Air Presto Femme synthetic spider silk called Adidas ZX Flux Mujer Biosteel which, according to the Asics Gel Quantum 360 Donna footwear manufacturer, is 100% biodegradable.
The sneaker, which is advertised as the first biodegradable sneaker of its kind, is currently only a prototype, but the company expects it to be a commercial product next year, Wired reported.
According to Gizmodo, users simply place their shoes in the water and add a digestion enzyme called proteinase, which causes the protein strand to disintegrate within 36 hours.
"This process is 100% natural," an Adidas spokesperson told the news site. "The shoe would not dissolve if it is used in conditions of rainy weather, for example because the presence of proteinase is important for the process."
As for what happens to the sole, a spokesman for Adidas told HuffPost that it could be considered another more durable material if the Nike Air Max Classic BW Damen shoe went into production.

"Futurecraft Biofabric is a prototype Nike Air Pegasus 83 Mujer that should show where the industry can go," Vinti Bhatnagar said in an email on Tuesday. "The reuse of footwear can be a process of great energy consumption and if we have a top that does not have to be recycled, that helps."
Bhatnagar also noted that last December, Adidas produced a 3D printed midsole concept made of recycled marine plastic.
In addition to this current sole, Adidas emphasizes that this new Biosteel fabric is not only beneficial for the environment, but also for athletes.
It is said that silk is 15 percent lighter than traditional polymeric shoes, but also stronger. The fiber is also described as 100% vegan and offers a controlled regulation of humidity. It also produces much less energy to produce than common polymer shoes.
"With this development, Adidas ZX Flux Dame we set new standards with Asics Gel Lyte 3 Womens respect to the functionality of renewable textiles," said Jens Klein, CEO of AMSilk, which produced the silk, in a statement.
I can not wait for its release? Adidas has also recently introduced a new line of shoes made from recycled plastic extracted from the ocean. Again, the sole seems to have been made of foam.
