The Allbirds journey began when Tim Brown, a native of New Zealand, expanded his curiosity about the merits of merino wool in 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.

Preparation Processes
Sheep outnumber humans, 6 to 1, in New Zealand. It is precisely because of their wool that the process uses about 60% less energy than materials utilized in synthetic shoe manufacturer. Allbirds works with organizations like ZQ Merino, in order to ensure the wool used is high in standard. The areas of land management, farming, and animal welfare are also undertaken properly.
Superfine merino wool is breathable with fibres 20% the diameter of human hair. It is temperature-regulating with moisture absorbance capacity, which does not cause irritation and scratchiness.
