The Hype About The “Allbirds Shoes” – “We All Need Birds”
As is so often the case, the Allbirds trend comes from America, more precisely from Silicon Valley, where the Allbirds sneakers have triggered a real hype and almost everyone had the “birds” on their feet as early as 2017. In addition to Silicon Valley legend Mark Zuckerburg, many other stars such as Barack Obama, Hugh Jackman, Cindy Crawford and Leonardo DiCaprio are fans of the shoe brand.
The “allbirds shoes” have also become real social media stars, are praised in numerous magazines and the famous Time magazine even says: Allbirds are the “world’s most comfortable shoes”. But is it really the most comfortable shoe in the world? The positive feedback from enthusiastic Allbirds wearers and the success figures that have been written since the magazine was founded in 2014 prove the magazine right. Over a million pairs of shoes were sold in the first two years and they are still often sold out. The founders, former New Zealand soccer player Tim Brown and biotech engineer Joey Zwillinger, probably didn’t even expect this great success.
The two got to know each other through their wives, who had the right instinct that Brown and Gemini would understand each other and might even be able to do something together. And they literally made it happen. An incomparable shoe brand was born from a common idea that combines Joey’s business competence and many years of experience in the field of sustainability and Tim’s desire for his own shoe label paired with his passion for design.
Both wanted to build a business that is not only profitable but also good for the environment. With the resulting sustainable shoes, they are well on the way to achieving this. From their company headquarters in San Francisco, the “birds” are now conquering the world and also Germany. Surely you now want to know what the secret of the Allbirds shoes is.
Allbirds Shoes: Comfortable And Sustainable
A special feature of the “birds” is that they are mostly made from renewable raw materials. They consist, for example, of soft merino wool and eucalyptus fibers, the shoe soles of sugar cane and the insoles of castor oil. This makes the Allbirds shoes pleasantly light and reinforces the claim that they are the most comfortable shoes in the world. And the woolen shoe is not only “comfortable”, but also saves an enormous amount of resources during its production.
The Allbirds shoes emit only about 60% of the greenhouse gases compared to a conventional sneaker. And the barefoot shoes should achieve even more. The inventors of the sustainable shoes want to become climate-neutral as quickly as possible, i.e. generate zero emissions, and pay compensation to climate compensation projects.
With the Allbirds shoes you are not only doing something good for yourself, but also for the environment. An important contribution, because on the one hand more and more people are getting health problems and misalignments due to unhealthy shoes, and on the other hand our fashion consumption has a very negative impact on our environment. Nice that there is another way.
Timeless and Everyday Shoes
The design of the sustainable sneakers will also convince you. No intrusive logo, no frills. They are neither “eco-boring” nor are they blatantly colorful, but let you float through everyday life in timeless simplicity. The Allbirds shoes are preferably worn without socks and you can start with the wonderful barefoot feeling.
Allbirds Shoes for Women
There is also a large selection of women’s models. Above all, the beautiful range of colors makes the hearts of shoe lovers beat. In addition to classic colors like white and black, colors like blue and purple spice up your everyday outfit. Like men, women can choose between the following Allbirds shoes:
