adidas has teamed up with Allbirds to introduce their first product form their collaboration, the Futurecraft Footprint sneaker. At 2.94kg CO2e it represents a personal best for both brands as the result of a collective ambition to make a performance running shoe with no carbon footprint.
Seeing the possibilities of accelerating a carbon neutral future for sports and style, we teamed up to forge a unique partnership: opening up their materials, supply chains and innovations to each other.
With each pair having a carbon footprint of just 2.94kg CO2e and created with 63% less emissions, the Futurecraft Footprint showcases a new approach to more sustainable design and an alternative method of manufacturing that drastically reduces carbon impact.
It comes constructed with 70 percent recycled polyester and 30 percent natural Tencel, the latter is made from wood pulp. The midsole uses Allbirds’ sugarcane-based Sweetfoam material.
