Created with Parley Ocean Plastic™, a range of materials made from upcycled marine plastic debris, each jersey is crafted to be a symbol of change in the movement to protect the oceans. By spinning a threat into thread, the adidas x Parley partnership gives new purpose to plastic bottles (polyester) and other plastic waste intercepted in marine environments. As a part of their partnership and joint commitments to ending marine plastic pollution through the Parley AIR Strategy (Avoid, Intercept, Redesign), adidas and Parley rework these various marine plastic waste materials into technical fibers that create the material framework of a durable, yet breathable fabric that is optimal for adidas performance apparel.
"As the creator sports brand, we create products tailored for an athlete, their sport, life and world and we're excited to introduce the special edition adizero Authentic Pro x Parley jerseys," said Dan Near, Sr. Director of adidas Hockey. "This initiative continues adidas' commitment to bring the brand's biggest initiatives to the sport of hockey; led by ADIZERO - the lighter, cooler, stronger jersey that redefined fit, feel and lightweight construction; followed by SPEEDFACTORY - the first-ever high-performance running shoe created for Stanley Cup® Champions, and now the introduction of Parley into the adizero Authentic NHL jerseys - the first-ever environmentally-conscious hockey jerseys."
