The First "Plant Material Ball Shoes" Developed By Rival Addi'S Environmental Shoes Plan Reebok

Finally, catching up with the trend of producing sports shoes with environmentally-friendly materials, they recently sold sports shoes named NPC UK Cotton + Corn shoes through the official website of the United States. The limited offer of men's and women's sneakers priced at US $95 (about HK $745).

The price of environmental protection is to accept its "natural" color similar to linen. The 75% shoe of sports shoes is made of organic materials certified by USDA.

NPC sports shoes made from cotton + corn are made from 100% cotton, and corn sole is used as sole material.

The bottom material of the shoe is made from castor bean oil, and 100% recyclable material is used for packaging.

Bill McInnis, director of the future development department, said most of Bill McInnis

The source of the material is produced by oil. The world produces 20 billion pairs of shoes every year. This is not a sustainable way to make shoes.

We are wondering if we can use plant materials that can be grown instead of oil as raw materials.

Through the use of sustainable resources as our basic material, and through continuous testing and development, we have created a sports shoes based on plant. Its performance and feel are similar to any other shoes.

Bill Mcginnis said that this is the only sport shoes that are sold on the market and certified by the USDA, which contains 75% of biological materials. This is only the beginning of our research. We are developing a different type of shoes so that you can be satisfied with the shoes you wear and the source of their shoes.

Just like the name of NPC UK Cotton + Corn, Reebok is made of cotton.

The sole is made of TPU thermoplastic elastomer made from corn, and even the insole is made from castor oil. No dye is used to maintain the essence of sports shoes' environmental protection.

Reebok said that Cotton + Corn series sneakers have come in succession, but they haven't disclosed the next timetable for listing.

Some analysts believe that the Reebok launch of this sneaker is a bit of a helplessness, because competitors are looking for other environmentally friendly shoes making programs. For example, Adidas intends to use recycled plastics only, and its lower environmental impact is a selling point to attract consumers. However, this Reebok NPC UK is not 100% biodegradable, but it is always more environmentally friendly than traditional petroleum refining plastic materials.
