Conceptual Biodegradable Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The adidas Futurecraft Biofabric Shoes are Made Using Biosteel

— November 20, 2016 — Eco
The adidas Futurecraft Biofabric Shoes are designed as a pair of fashion accessories that enable users to eliminate the need for traditional plastic and rubber sneakers. Conceptually designed, the shoes are created using 100% Biosteel fiber, which is made using natural materials that are combined to create a natural silk-like material. This allows the sneakers to be lightweight, inherently strong and quite stylish to boot.

The adidas Futurecraft Biofabric Shoes are created with natural materials, which means they are capable of being easily disposed of and are, amazingly, 100% biodegradable. This means they can be worn and discarded without having to think that they'll be sitting in a landfill for decades before starting to break down. It's a step in the right direction for the fashion industry to help curb the amount of waste created.
