This is a great initiative, I will be buying some.
A scary stat from that story - 500million plastic straws a day are used in the US.
We really have a problem if we keep going like this. Marine Pollution is a disgrace, would love to see a real shift in focus from only talking about Global Warming to talking about excess consumption, marine pollution and recycling.

Seems a shame they are not priced at a point that will lead to mass scale adoption, would love to see them at £30. I guess it'll come in time.This is a great initiative, I will be buying some.

Adidas won't be the ones to make them "cheap" but another brand will come along and do that - New Balance or something I expect. The "not seen to be as good as Adidas because of marketing" type brandsThanks - I fixed the link.
I have mixed views on the price point, I have no idea whether these cost more to make, but the fact you need to get the plastic out of the ocean first, then process it, makes me think it might be comparable price to oil as a base input.
Anyway, the rich can afford a social conscience...as a choice. So makes sense to start there.
I also not they completely replaced plastic bags with paper, something I would love to see adopted by Supermarkets in the UK

Standard ultra boost are only ten quid cheaper though. I guess to introduce something like this into a product line you do so Using one with a a high margin. Plenty of scope for this to trickle down to their cheaper ranges, flip flops etc.
Seems they're a step ahead - flip flops £19.95. Great minds eh?https://www.adidas.co.uk/eezay-parley-thong-sandal...

500Million seems a lot in a country of 300M though. Per day?
