More about the newly released Adidas x Parley for the Ocean Nizza footwear collection
A handful of silhouettes from the Nizza series have been outfitted in the retro beach aesthetic, which showcases the 1970s vintage aesthetic as well as sun-bleached reminiscent effects over the RF uppers.
The silhouettes are dressed in either classic white, white & black, or adorned with washed-out hues of purple, red, and blue over the aged soles.
The offerings come in all family sizing, including youth, women's and men's sizes. The men's sizes are offered in Nizza Parley shoes in low and high, Nizza RF shoes, and Nizza Hi RF Shoes.
The Nizza Parley low-top shoes are constructed out of technical yarn, which contains 50% Parley Ocean plastic, made out of upcycled plastic waste. The other 50% of the sneaker is constructed in recycled polyester yarn. The Nizza Parley low-top silhouette can be availed for $140. The official site describes them as:
"The laid-back vibe and effortless style of the '70s original are still intact. Only now, these adidas shoes are made in part with recycled content and with ocean plastic that you can digitally trace back to its origins. So go ahead, lace in. Together we can make a difference."
Nizza Parley's high-top shoes also adopt a similar construction to the low-top silhouette. The Nizza Parley high-top shoes, which can be purchased for $140, are described on the website as:
"Actions speak louder than words, which is why we teamed up with Parley for the Oceans to create an intentionally crafted and future focused version of the iconic Nizza sneaker."
The Nizza RF shoes are constructed out of upcycled plastic waste and 50% recycled polyester. The shoes opt for sun-bleached effect in a Crew Navy/Wonder White/Wonder White colorway and retail for $90. The product description on the official site reads:
"Easy comfort? Check. Casual good looks? Check. Innovations to help end plastic waste? Yep, they've got that too. These adidas Nizza sneakers take a step to the future using upcycled plastic waste. They're made for tomorrow, yet rooted in the past — with sun-bleached colors and classic details that bring on the '70s nostalgia."
The Nizza Hi RF shoes arrive in similar sun-bleached effect in Crew Red/Wonder White/Wonder White colorway. The shoes are made out of 50% parley ocean plastic - upcycled plastic waste. This waste is intercepted on beaches, remote islands, coastal communities, and shorelines, in an attempt to preventing ocean pollution.
The official e-commerce site lists them at $100 and describes the product as:
"The adidas Nizza sneaker has come a long way since its time on the hardwood. It's made waves at skate parks, made a name in fashion, and now it's part of our efforts to help end plastic waste. For this high top pair we collaborated with Parley for the Oceans, using innovative materials that help us move towards the future."
