Adidas, where innovation and collaboration meet the boundless spirit of sport to create something truly extraordinary! The brand mission extends beyond crafting high-performance sportswear and workout essentials; they are all about empowering the creators who dare to redefine the playing field. I am not a trainer fan myself but I do wear them for comfort and a casual look. I always buy recycled trainers because like the iPhone, people buy new ones way before the old ones, are old, which is my big gripe about trainers. If I am going to choose a trainer brand it would be adidas because this brand isn't just about looking good while you break a sweat; it's about feeling good too. They understand that comfort is king when you're pushing yourself to the limit, which is why they are obsessed with creating fabrics that offer unparalleled breathability, moisture-wicking capabilities, and uncompromising support.

And let's talk about sustainability, the heartbeat of the brand. They are on a mission to end plastic waste with initiatives like Parley for the Oceans, turning recycled plastic bottles into high-performance threads. Their commitment to reducing their environmental footprint is reflected in every product they create. They redefining the industry standard for eco-friendly apparel, without ever sacrificing the quality and innovation adidas fans expect from them.

This post is a rant more than a rave because of the fact that many trainers now are replicas from China. In recent years, the footwear sector has experienced growth. This covers both authentic and fake products. The extent of the fake shoe market is well recognised, yet it is a difficult criminal industry to monitor and eradicate.

A system of illicit activity exists to sell counterfeit trainers to customers worldwide, involving counterfeit shoe producers, distributors, and dealers. The demand for fakes reflects the demand for genuine footwear. Some of these brands are often counterfeited, especially high-end designers, so be carful when buying new because the joke could end up being on you.

There are so many fakes out there now, even buying recycled is difficult, so always remember, anything that seems to good to be true, probably is and do your homework before you buy.
