Asics debuts sneakers made from airbag fabric
Group, though it's the only firm in the group that uses the family surname spelling of Toyoda with a"D" and also supplies to manufacturers other than Toyota.
According to Toyoda Gosei, the fabric used to make airbags is notoriously difficult to recycle. It also happens that scraps of it are generated during the airbag making process. So, they partnered with sportswear company Asics to transform the airbag into parts of a sneaker. The sneaker is an existing Asics model called the Gel Sonoma 15-50. The main difference is that now the white fabric used to make the upper section of the shoe is sourced from prototype airbags detonated during the testing phase of development, which would have otherwise been discarded. Only a hint of their former life is retained in the red lines and numbers. An illustration of a detonating airbag is depicted on the insole as well.for $128. The Gel Sonoma 15-50 is available in the U.S.
