Allbirds

The Kiwi co-founder and co-CEO of Allbirds opened The Wall Street Journal to see the headline, “Allbirds Were the Tech Bro 'It' Shoe. Then the Tech Bros Moved ...

“With that in mind, we also believe in constant improvement and are always innovating our processes and materials to deliver the very best for our consumers. And a majority of customers are no longer “bros”, of the tech variety or otherwise. “Allbirds is one of the top 150 stocks held by Sharesies investors. As was shared on the third-quater earnings call, there has been a 12 per cent increase in active customers year-on-year.” That has been part of our spirit since the beginning — our first Wool Runner, for instance, went through hundreds of iterations before being brought to market, and we’re still innovating changes today. The influential paper quoted a stylist who said hipster Silicon Valley clients had moved on to other brands - adding that her clients think Allbirds’ flagship Wool Runners don’t offer enough support if you’re on your feet for long periods, and that the Wool Runners and Tree Trunners “flounder in wet weather”. For wet weather, Allbirds offers five water-resistant styles from our Mizzle collection, which feature bio-based water-repellent protection, Puddle Guard technology with high-top upper soles and traction grips to prevent slipping.” The firm had already lowered its full-year forecasts back in July, when it said the cost-of-living crisis was finally catching up with its customers and that 8 per cent of its workforce would be laid off. The last year, alone, has seen a 12 per cent increase in customers - so, yes, the percentage of people who you might label ‘tech bros’ has dropped - by 1 per cent. And the firm has now expanded way behind its initial Silicon Valley base. Then the Tech Bros Moved On”. “Since then, our mission has attracted a global audience, with customers in more than 30 countries, and 2022 marking a record-breaking year for new store openings.
