Allbirds was founded in 2014 by Tim Brown and Joey Zwillinger with the goal of creating sustainable footwear using natural materials like merino wool and eucalyptus tree fibers. The brand quickly gained popularity for its minimalist design and focus on environmental impact.

Manufacturing for Allbirds products is primarily handled through specialized factories in Vietnam, South Korea, China, and Indonesia that are certified for high labor and environmental standards. The company remains independent and publicly traded, headquartered in San Francisco, California. They are famously a certified B Corporation, reflecting their commitment to social and environmental transparency.
