Allbirds, a brand synonymous with comfort, sustainability, and innovation, has taken the footwear industry by storm. Founded in 2016 by Tim Brown, a former professional soccer player from New Zealand, and Joey Zwillinger, a biotech engineer, Allbirds was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: to create the world’s most comfortable shoes using natural materials.

The Inspiration Behind Allbirds

Tim Brown’s inspiration came from the natural beauty and resources of his homeland, New Zealand. He noticed that merino wool, a material commonly used in high-performance outdoor wear, was incredibly soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating. Brown wondered why such a sustainable material wasn’t being used in everyday footwear. This sparked the idea of creating a shoe that was both comfortable and eco-friendly, leading to the birth of Allbirds.

Sustainability at Its Core

One of the key pillars of Allbirds is its commitment to sustainability. The brand’s signature material, ZQ Merino wool, is ethically sourced from New Zealand farms that adhere to strict animal welfare standards. Additionally, Allbirds has expanded its material portfolio to include eucalyptus tree fibersugarcane-based foam, all of which are renewable and environmentally friendly. The company even calculates the carbon footprint of each product and labels it clearly, empowering consumers to make informed choices.

Unparalleled Comfort
