How Allbirds Is Changing The Footwear Industry

Such a remarkable and sustainable resource was not being utilized as a raw material for this ever-growing industry. Therefore, taking the first step, Mr. Brown commandeered the ship to sale merino wool based footwear.

Joey Zwillinger, who is an engineer as well as a renewables expert teamed up with Mr. Brown. And together they moulded a revolutionary wool fabric purpose, especially for footwear.
