What is Allbirds?

Allbirds launched its first Wool Runner shoe in 2016 after Tim Brown and Joey Zwillinger began working together on the idea. The brand's design story centers on using materials such as merino wool, tree fiber and sugarcane in footwear. The material mix varies by model and component. Its assortment includes casual shoes and other footwear styles. A wool upper and a tree-fiber upper can suit different preferences, so compare the construction of the exact shoe rather than relying on the brand name alone. Check sizing guidance, outsole design, intended activity and the current care instructions before buying. A casual sneaker should not automatically be treated as a specialist running or hiking shoe. Sustainability statements are the brand's own positioning and should be assessed alongside the product-specific material details and how long you expect to use the shoes.
