Adidas is a firm believer that both plastic waste and pollution are huge problems. Alongside the Five Ten Freerider shoes featuring recycled ocean plastic, it has launched a sustainable clothing range. As a brand, Adidas has set the goal of not using any virgin polyesters by 2024 and create all of their shoes and apparel from recycled materials.

The new Five Ten clothing line takes the research and material development worked on by Adidas to create a range that uses Parley Ocean Plastic, recycled polyester and BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) cotton.

bigquotesFive Ten is proud to be a part of the mission to bring new technology and manufacturing processes to mountain biking and to help end plastic waste. This will bring us one step closer to becoming a fully-circular company. Our sport is built in the outdoors and as a brand we need to be accountable for the impact we have on nature and the
environment.
Luke Hontz, Senior Product Manager, Five Ten Bike

 Since Adidas took over ownership, I would give it 5-10 rides. Also, when are the prior owners of 5/10 out from underneath their no compete clauses?

 This female models face expression and body language on the first pic perfectly describes my enthusiasm to buying anything from 5.10 that is not Hellcat Pro shoes. I mean the gal not Veronique.

 Why does a US brand now owned by a German company, advertising on a Canadian website, show their prices in British pounds?

 Press article written by an Englishman, but yeah listing USD and CAN currencies might have been a good inclusion.

 I just think it's hilarious that they decided to use a stereotypically handsome male model as if that's is what would motivate male buyers? Talk about not understanding your target demographic.
  • 3 3
 @friendlyfoe: do you not realise that the male is Danny macaskill, and the female is Veronique Sandler? It’s not about good looks it’s simply because they are both sponsored by FiveTen, and the whole point is that if they ride for them then it acts as an influence to other people

 @archiesgm: I think they are referring to all the other pics, not the top one with the actual athletes in it

it does boggle the mind when they have all these athletes on book, and then they use cliché "models" for the main site / catalog photos - its just really jarring when you see the real people and the fake ones in the same article, makes it really obvious - they have the athletes just use them!!!!
  • 1 2
 @see-the-world: yeah but it’s probably because these athletes are all over the world, and it’s much more simple and cheaper to get models nearer to their “headquarters”

 @archiesgm: not sure if you're being intentionally argumentative as there are other pictures with a male model, but kind of a nice compliment for Danny that you find him to be "stereotypically handsome". Actually I think you just made my entire point.

 Since Adidas have taken over they have gone for a ball of and they don’t want to distribute them in South Africa because we apparently don’t have enough sales here for them yet when they were here they could not keep up with sales. Makes no sense.

 I have a pair of freeriders that I bought for like $45 when Performance Bike locations went out of business and I don't understand all the complaints about them. I am a pretty okay rider.. probably do 2-3 hours a week on my locals, maybe another couple riding my dog around the neighborhood.. they have held up fantastic.. Am I just not aggressive enough? Are you my new dad?

 Why not actually let manufacturers know that their products are failing expectations rather than providing them an advertising platform? Is there any longer a place to get real information and not just marketing parrots?

 "Adidas is a firm believer that both plastic waste and pollution are huge problems"

**** me, seriously? After decades producing countless plastic and rubber etc they are now trying the eco line and pinkbike regurgitates it?
