Los Angeles, CA – January 5, 2018 

adidas Outdoor, the athletic brand in the outdoors, will expand its sustainable footwear collection made from recycled ocean plastic and waste through its partnership with Parley for the Oceans, with knit trail runners designed for enhanced performance, long term cushioning and comfort. As the Parley for the Oceans footwear franchise grows for Fall 2018, adidas Outdoor is integrating more proprietary technology for superior cushion and endless energy return. Additionally, the high performance adidas Outdoor footwear designers are using Stealth® Rubber in more hiking, trail running, biking and water sports because of its unbeatable grip, especially in wet conditions. The line will be on display at Outdoor Retailer + Snow Show January 25-28, in Denver booth #42069-UL.

“The outdoor sports market is turning to next generation design and innovation to solve fit, comfort, and performance demands from consumers, as well as adopting more sustainable measures,” said Greg Thomsen, managing director, adidas Outdoor, U.S. “We work hand in hand with Parley for the Oceans to create purposeful, functional designs. Since the launch of our first Parley shoe, the response from the industry and consumers has been incredibly strong; this line builds upon that energy.”

The Terrex Two Parley trail runner features a knitted upper made from yarn spun from reclaimed and recycled ocean waste, a lightweight EVA midsole for long term cushioning, and a Continental® rubber outsole for extraordinary grip. With a retail price of $140, it will be available for both men and women at retail and online August 2018.
