MOTHER NATURE
MADE US DO IT

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.

SIMPLICITY IN DESIGN

No flashy logos. No senseless details. Just the world’s most comfortable shoes, made naturally and designed practically. It’s that simple.

CONFIDENCE IN COMFORT

Feel it to believe it - You will be walking on cloud nine, and we will be right there with you!

MADE FROM NATURE

The footwear industry often overlooks Mother Nature’s materials in favor of cheaper, synthetic alternatives. We think it’s time to change that.

The journey to making better things in a better way is a long one, and we’re just getting started. Here are a few of our proudest moments so far:
