A native of New Zealand, Tim Brown was always well versed in the magical qualities of merino wool. He was always inherently curious. That's why while he was playing professional soccer he began asking himself why such a remarkable, sustainable resource was virtually absent in the footwear industry. And with that spirit of wonder, Tim's Allbirds journey began. It was a journey that officially launched in 2016 and one that has quickly seen Tim create a billion dollar business.
