Combine the smooth lines and mindful aesthetic of Allbirds sneakers with the rugged and durable construction of Timberlands, and you get the adidas Terrex Free Hiker Parley Hiking Shoes. Their uppers are spongy but supportive and abrasion-resistant. Meanwhile the frame is made of Ethylene-vinyl acetate, a soft and flexible polymer for a super responsive cushioning. Basically, this means you can wear these for miles on a hike or casually at the pub.
The plastics used in this shoe are Parley Ocean Plastic, which is taken from the litter on beaches and shorelines, then upcycled to prevent pollution. 75% of the textile construction is Primeblue yarn, another high-performance recycled material, and 0% is virgin polyester. These shoes also come in a dark or light color variation.
If you don’t like choosing between the comfort of a clean, simple sneaker or the robustness of a work boot, go for these guys. It’s like having the biggest, strongest lineman and the slickest, fastest wide receiver on the team.
