Gather up your old running footwear and turn them into something valuable with the launch of the adidas ‘Refresh Your Gear’ campaign.
adidas is offering a R400 discount on new running shoes for every pair of old ones, of any brand, donated and will distribute the second-hand gear to disadvantaged runners through SCORE, a non-profit organisation specializing in community development in sport and recreation, and The Two Oceans Marathon Initiative (TOMI).
During the campaign, local adidas ambassadors such as Graeme Smith, Lucas Radebe, Bryan Habana and Jean de Villiers will be refreshing their gear at selected stores across South Africa in support of the charities involved.
adidas PR Manager Zobuzwe Ngobese says “this is the perfect time of year to refresh your gear and get into some good training for a great year of running which lies ahead and this campaign allows everyone to benefit from a discount while ensuring that their old shoes are going to a really good cause”.
