Is this really innovation or just marketing hype? Nike make shoes out of plastic because its cheap. Wool is expensive because it's a natural material. If wool prices have increased 30% in 2017 because of some hype imagine if the shoes really became mainstream. More demand for wool = more sheep = more land clearing for the sheep to graze = more c02 emissions. Its a nice shoe but I don't see this as environmentally friendly.
Long-term if the market explodes for wool you are probably right, but surely despite that it may still be better environmentally that the plastic alternatives? (also its cows that are the bigger issue, not sheep)
Abhimanyu Khadwal stop . Just stop . He literally said uncomfortable and you’re still defending it and you don’t even own a stake in the company . Why are you defending something you have nothing to do with ?
Well yeah what do you expect? People cry about other people buying nike and adidas being “ brand whores “ and show offs . No ! I buy them because no matter what design i buy it will be comfortable and durable . Period

God I want a pair so much... this guy summarized it for me, every shoe is overly branded with too much design. I was looking for a simple one. (don’t like wearing brands too much.) Too bad I live in Germany where they don’t sell yet. So I heard about these but can’t get em... next time
@@omb5722 ok tbh I've never tried the Allbirds but Nike, Adidas ... If you're an active guy, they rarely last more than 6 to 8 months. That's why now I only buy unbranded trainers / the supermarket variety
Becoming Vincent i tried the no brand ones , very uncomfortable and also create a bad smell . But yeah famous brands last a year tops if you are active . It helps if you pick the right shoe though , like you can’t be playing soccer in training shoes
I also have both. I wouldn't recommend the All Birds for running, even if they have a line called "Wool Runners" and "Tree Runners" but I think they're more comfortable. Put it this way: I went to Disney for a week with my gf, 8+ hours in the parks for 5 days. I brought 2 pairs of ultra boosts and one pair of the Tree Skippers. I wore the boost day 1, wore my Tree Skippers the other 6. It's the perfect walking shoe. If you're doing exercise, I think Ultra Boosts are the way to go without a doubt.
I love the design of these cause I am a designer my self, but those shoes are not made for rainy weather like Wellington. I kept falling over, again and again.
How can I get a pair if I live in Germany? I have been looking at simplistic shoes for a long time now and not really have found any. The guy summarized it for me, I’m looking for something without a brand, stylish and with a simple design. I can see how many people like nike’s new designs but they just don’t speak to me... personally it’s too much going on for me which also makes it difficult to combinate them with my wear. My shoes should stand out but shouldn’t be the highlight of my outfit is what I feel like. You won’t believe how long I went around in shoe stores to find anything like what I see here. Man if I could just get my hand on the standard pair, that would be amazing
Have you tried Clarks Desert Boots or any Chelsea Boots? They look great with most outfits and have a simple disign without any flashy logos. Same goes for Dr. Martens boots

Just tax the plastic and subsides the sheep, case closed

I bought some and got them yesterday. The uppers are pretty nice but the soles are hard and uncomfortable.
They're meant to be more like a business shoe, perfect for all day wear and tear. More like a Vans Era or Oldskool Vans.
