Juventus unveil third kit made from ocean plastic set to be worn by Cristiano Ronaldo

Juventus and adidas, two clubs that innovation is synonymous with, continue that tradition in the 2018/19 season with the debut of the third kit. Combining modernity in look with cutting-edge technology, the third jersey is far more than something simply worn on the pitch. The uniform has various shades of gray with the iconic Juventus logo standing out in yellow born from the collaboration between adidas and Parley for the Oceans.

Made from a 100% recycled polyester interlock material that incorporates Ocean Plastic ® by Parley, the new third kit fuses performance technology with eco-innovative design.

“The new Juve third kit has eco-innovation and longevity at its very heart,” said adidas Designer Francesca Venturini. “Through our partnership with Parley for the Oceans we’ve been able to create this beautiful jersey made from Ocean Plastic ®. The dark grey shade with yellow accents makes it the perfect jersey to be worn either on pitch or on the streets.”

The story behind Adidas Ultraboost Parley running shoes

Good for the oceans

The Adidas Ultraboost Parley running shoes are created with yarn made in collaboration with Parley for the Oceans. Some of the yarn features Parley Ocean Plastic which is made from recycled waste, intercepted from beaches and coastal communities before it reaches the ocean. Parley is the space and network where creators, thinkers, and leaders come together to raise awareness for the beauty and fragility of the oceans and collaborate on projects that can end their destruction. By teaming up with Parley, Adidas single-handedly prevent 11 bottles from entering our oceans, with each pair of Ultraboost created. By intercepting plastic waste on the beaches and creating long-lasting products, Adidas have been able to save the oceans from further plastic pollution. Teaming up with Parley for the Oceans is just one way in which Adidas plan to avoid plastic use, intercept plastic waste and help redesign the plastic economy.
