After a year of teasing, Adidas is finally ready to release the collab footwear from its partnership with environmental group Parley for the Oceans. In a press release sent on Friday, Adidas promised to release 7,000 pairs of the Parley x Adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged in November.

While the release doesn't give a specific date, the product page for the shoes is live on the brand's webstore now here with a countdown that's set to expire on Nov. 15.

The knitted upper on this Adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged consists of 95 percent ocean plastic and 5 percent recycled polyester. The wavy design on the heel ties the sneaker back to the ocean from which its materials are sourced.

In addition to this shoe, Adidas says it will make one million pairs of sneakers using Parley ocean plastic in 2017.

Parley and Adidas are also creating soccer jerseys for Bayern Munich and Real Madrid out of recycled ocean plastic that will release on Nov. 4 and Nov. 24, respectively.
