Wool Runners Hit a Speed Bump

Allbirds, once the poster child for sustainable footwear and Silicon Valley chic, has faced a dramatic reversal of fortune.

The company’s iconic wool sneakers, which propelled it to a successful IPO in 2021, have lost their luster among tech bros and investors alike.

Shares that soared to $28.64 on the first day of trading now struggle to stay above $1, prompting a delisting warning from Nasdaq in April 2024.

Stepping into New Territory

In response to declining sales and mounting losses, Allbirds has embarked on a strategic transformation. The company is scaling back its direct-to-consumer focus, expanding wholesale partnerships, and refocusing on core products.

Recent leadership changes saw co-founder Tim Brown step down from his co-CEO role, followed by Joey Zwillinger’s transition to a special advisor position.

Lacing Up for a Comeback

Despite the challenges, Allbirds remains optimistic about its future. CEO Joe Vernachio has announced plans for 10 new product launches in late 2025 and early 2026.

The company’s recent releases, including updates to its classic Wool Runner and new models like the Tree Glider, have shown promise.

However, Allbirds faces an uphill battle to regain investor confidence and secure its position in the competitive footwear market.
