The footwear industry emits around 700 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the environment annually, marking itself as one of the most harmful sectors throughout the world. However, to reduce the effects, various footwear firms have increased their focus on producing more sustainable sneakers by utilizing recycled and renewable materials.

Allbirds and Adidas have joined forces to reduce these effects. In addition, the sneaker is also based on Adidas's exclusive performance cushioning technologies and is made up of Allbird's sugarcane-based SweetFoam material. 70% of the footprint is made up of recycled polyester, while 30% of it is made with Tencel, i.e. a renewable substance made out of wood pulp.
