I'm undecided now. Really don't the like sole/heel at the back.
And my yellow Nike Pre Love Ox are similar and are the most comfortable trainers I've ever worn.
Interesting concept coming from Adidas.

So these are Adidas’s new shoe they revealed today called the Futurecraft Loop
They’re made out of only 1 material (TPU)
They’re 100% recyclable and there is no glue involved, even no glue to connect the sole to the upper
Highlight: You can send them back to Adidas when they’re beat, and they will be made into an entirely new pair of shoes thanks to being recyclable
Unfortunately they will release to the public in 2021 but I will definitely be picking up a pair when they do
Here’s a more in depth look: https://sneakernews.com/2019/04/17/adidas-futurecr... they’re pretty cool

Cool idea, the shoes look crap and why white? surely a black shoe would be a lot better?
I also want to keep my shoes and use them for years, I don't want them to be a throw away item that can be recycled.
I think the adidas x parley stuff is the way forward, recycle already discarded plastic into decent shoes.

Great idea and ethos. Some pretty cool manufacturing innovation going on there too.https://m.adidas.co.uk/futurecraft

Unfortunately as as far as the trainers themselves are concerned, while aesthetically pleasing, they don't bring much to party.
It's almost like Adidas can't see past that particular silhouette and boost (which isn't even their own tech)
Kudos though, for the environmentally & ethically friendly approach.

Are they going to pay me a small fee to take the materials back to use in a new product?
For some reason that really bugs me. Hey. Buy these shoes that we've made and when you're done we'll have them back to make more shoes. But we won't give you anything for them.
Yeah just like the old Irn Bru bottle returns. Either adidas gives us money or a gift voucher back to order a new pair. For some reason that really bugs me. Hey. Buy these shoes that we've made and when you're done we'll have them back to make more shoes. But we won't give you anything for them.

^ Not hugely fussed on the AM1s so if anyone wants UK9 for retail, drop me a message or something.
Same, I tried to cop size 8.5 this morning just to see if there is any chance of me ever grabbing a hyped pair at launch. Apparently not...That’s you used up your one big W for the rest of year Rawwr

Any ideas on what to wash Ultraboosts with in the washing machine?
I've washed them twice and it didn't really make a difference, but that was just with normal washing liquid. Maybe I need a stain remover specific one?
They look about 5 years old and I've only had them a couple months!
