History

New Zealander Tim Brown and engineer Joey Zwillinger founded Allbirds in 2014. The brand gained prominence by introducing the Wool Runner, a shoe made from New Zealand merino wool. It became a cultural staple within the technology sector, often cited as part of the Silicon Valley uniform. Historically, Allbirds contributed to the rise of the direct-to-consumer business model and influenced the industry's shift toward sustainable manufacturing processes and bio-based material alternatives.
