Last year, Adidas launched three new versions of its UltraCHIC Boost shoe made out of plastic found in the ocean. It teamed up with environmental initiative Parley for the Oceans to create the shoe.
At the time, the German footwear giant said it wanted to create a million pairs of the UltraBoost shoes.
“We last year sold 1 million shoes made out of ocean plastic,” Rorsted told CNBC.
Each pair of shoes reuses 11 plastic bottles.
Adidas reported quarterly earnings on Wednesday in which it slaid it expected another year of sales and profit growth, but at a slower pace than in 2017.
