Allbirds is an American-New Zealand footwear and apparel company founded in 2016 by Tim Brown, a former New Zealand soccer player, and Joey Zwillinger, a renewables expert. The company is headquartered in San Francisco and was publicly traded on the NASDAQ before going private in 2024. Allbirds is known for its sustainable approach to product design, using natural and recycled materials.

The company's flagship product is the Wool Runner, a sneaker made from ZQ-certified merino wool. Other materials used across the product line include eucalyptus tree fiber (Tencel Lyocell), sugarcane-based foam (SweetFoam), and Trino (a blend of tree and merino fibers). The product range has expanded from shoes to include activewear, underwear, and socks. Core shoe styles include the Tree Dasher running shoe, Tree Flyer, and Wool Lounger.

Allbirds offers free shipping on orders over 75 USD in the United States and provides a 30-day return window for worn or unworn items. The company's try-before-you-decide policy allows customers to wear shoes for up to 30 days and return them if unsatisfied. Allbirds operates approximately 30 retail stores across the United States and internationally.

The company measures and labels the carbon footprint of every product, similar to a nutrition label. Allbirds has committed to reducing its per-product carbon footprint and has offset all remaining emissions since its founding. The brand has also partnered with adidas on collaborative products exploring sustainable performance footwear.
