A native of New Zealand, Tim Brown was always well versed in the magical qualities of merino wool. Inherently curious, he began asking himself why such a remarkable, sustainable resource was virtually absent in the footwear industry. And with that spirit of wonder, the Allbirds journey began.
After years of researching and tinkering, Tim teamed up with Joey Zwillinger, an engineer and renewables expert. Together, they crafted a revolutionary wool fabric made specifically for footwear. The outcome? An entirely new category of shoes inspired by natural materials, and an ongoing mantra to create better things in a better way.
Lightweight, bouncy, and wildly comfortable, Allbirds shoes make any outing feel effortless. Slip in, lace up, or slide them on and enjoy the comfy support.
From materials to transport, they’re working to reduce their carbon footprint to near zero. Holding themselves accountable and striving for climate goals isn’t a 30-year goal—it’s now.
They replace petroleum-based synthetics with natural alternatives wherever they can. Like using wool, tree fiber, and sugar cane. They’re soft, breathable, and better for the planet—win, win, win.
