Allbirds launches an industry-first footwear collection designed with an alternative made from plant-based proteins and recycled tires

Allbirds has introduced Terralux™, a new footwear collection with ISA Core | Powered by INNOVERA™, a next-generation bio-designed material developed by Modern Meadow. The leather alternative is crafted from plant-based proteins, biopolymers, and recycled Nylon 6 sourced from end-of-life tires.

Completely animal-free, ISA Core | Powered by INNOVERA™ is engineered to look, feel, wear, and age like traditional materials. It’s finished at our tannery partner ISA, a global leader in sustainable materials manufacturing, using the same treatment and dyeing processes as animal leather, delivering premium aesthetics and performance without compromise.

While INNOVERA™ has previously been used in automotive interiors, premium wallets, tech accessories, and luxury handbags, this launch marks an industry first, with Allbirds being the first brand to bring the innovative material to footwear. With more than 80% renewable carbon content, INNOVERA™ reinforces Allbirds’ long-standing commitment to sustainable materials innovation and its mission to create better things in a better way.

Designed to meet the demands of daily life, the three-piece Terralux collection includes two of Allbirds’ newest and best-selling styles – the Cruiser Terralux and Varsity Terralux – alongside the Runner NZ Terralux, an evolution of the iconic Wool Runner silhouette that launched the brand. The collection transitions seamlessly from day to night, pairing an elevated design aesthetic with Allbirds’ signature comfort.

The Cruiser Terralux ($135) is available for both Men and Women, while the Varsity Terralux ($145) and Runner NZ Terralux ($135) are designed exclusively for Men, each offered in three colorways.
