Founded in 2016 by former professional soccer player Tim Brown and biotech engineer Joey Zwillinger, Allbirds emerged from a desire to create footwear that was simple, comfortable, and environmentally conscious. The brand’s journey began with the iconic Wool Runner, a sneaker crafted from superfine New Zealand merino wool, which defied industry norms that favored synthetic materials. This initial offering, lauded for its comfort and minimalist style, quickly established the brand's identity and commitment to material innovation. As a certified B Corporation, Allbirds places sustainability at the core of its operations, treating the environment as a key stakeholder.
