My association with Adidas over the years has been a major step toward spreading awareness for the cause, which is why I am proud to collaborate with them for this collection. Ending plastic waste is a priority for us both, and this collection is a result of unparalleled commitment and effort towards saving the oceans."

Through this partnership, we aim to spread awareness and inspire millions out there to join us in our effort to end plastic waste."
