荷蘭推出可以穿的口香糖球鞋 鞋底由回收的口香糖制成

我們都知道，口香糖是一種可食用橡膠。不過你能想象用口香糖做運動鞋嗎？最近，荷蘭時尚品牌Explicit Wear推出了一款口香糖運動鞋。這款鞋的鞋底由從街道上刮下來的回收口香糖制成。據稱，每四雙鞋要使用將近1公斤的回收口香糖。

Dutch fashion and shoe label Explicit Wear is hoping to solve one of life’s sticky situations — the annoyance of stepping in discarded chewing gum on the pavement — while helping to keep Amsterdam’s city streets clean.

踩到吐在人行道上的口香糖是件令人惱火的事情，荷蘭時尚鞋履品牌Explicit Wear希望能解決這個棘手問題，同時幫助阿姆斯特丹的城市街道保持清潔。

The brand has partnered with local marketing organization Iamsterdam and sustainability firm Gumdrop to create a limited-edition sneaker for adults made from recycled gum that’s literally been scraped from the city’s pavements.

Explicit Wear與當地營銷機構Iamsterdam和環保公司Gumdrop合作設計了一款限量版的成人運動鞋，其原材料是從阿姆斯特丹的人行道上刮下來的回收口香糖。

The discarded gum is being put to good use to make stylish kicks that also raise awareness for the anti-littering cause. Priced at around $332, the shoes will debut sometime in June.

他們將這些廢棄口香糖加以利用，制成時尚運動鞋，此舉也是為提高公眾禁止亂扔垃圾的意識。口香糖運動鞋將于6月發售，售價約為332美元（約合人民幣2100元）。

According to the project, more than 3 million pounds of gum wind up on Amsterdam’s streets and sidewalks each year, costing the city millions of dollars to clean up.

據該項目介紹，每年約有超過1360噸口香糖落在阿姆斯特丹的街道和人行道上，清理這些口香糖需花費數百萬美元。

Available for preorder now, the new Gumshoe sneakers — offered in both a bubblegum pink and a black/red colorway — feature durable rubber outsoles recyclable compounds (called Gum-Tec) produced by Gumdrop, 20 percent of which are made from gum.

新款口香糖運動鞋現已接受預訂，有泡泡堂粉和紅配黑兩種配色，其耐磨橡膠外底由Gumdrop公司生產的可回收化合物（Gum-Tec）制成，這種化合物20%的成分來自口香糖。

Nearly 2.2 pounds of gum is used in every four pairs of shoes. A map of Amsterdam is molded into the bottom of the soles to subtly remind people of the littering problem. Even better, the sneakers actually smell like bubblegum, too — without the annoying stickiness.

每四雙鞋要使用將近1公斤口香糖。鞋底用模具鑄造了阿姆斯特丹的地圖，以此巧妙提醒人們亂扔垃圾的問題。更妙的是，這款運動鞋聞起來也像泡泡糖一樣，卻沒有討厭的粘性。
