Introducing the Tree Gliders
Step Into Effortless Movement with the Allbirds Tree Gliders
From the early morning rush to the late-night wind-down, life doesn’t come with a pause button. So, why should your shoes slow you down? Meet the new Tree Gliders, designed to keep pace with every step of your day. Lightweight, versatile, and endlessly comfortable, this sleek athleisure shoe redefines what it means to live life in motion (at least, for your feet).
Allow us to explain.
Tree Fiber Innovation, Featherlight Feel
At the heart of the Tree Gliders is our uniquely light tree fiber blend that helps regulate temperature and provides an airy, breathable feel to keep your feet cool and dry, no matter where the day takes you. Developed from sustainably sourced eucalyptus tree fibers, this fabric also offers a silky-smooth finish that gently hugs your feet in all the right places with a seamless, sock-like fit, moving with you effortlessly through every step.
Basically, it’s the kind of shoe you forget you’re wearing—until someone compliments you on how great they look.
A Spring in Your Step
The Tree Gliders feature our sustainably innovative SuperLight midsole, made from sugarcane-based foam that’s infused with nitrogen—reducing its weight without sacrificing cushioning. This midsole provides a springy response with each step, delivering a plush underfoot experience that absorbs impact while fully supporting your stride. It’s designed to help keep your feet feeling fresh—from navigating a hectic commute to catching up with friends after work and whatever else your plans may have in store.
Plus, paired with a natural rubber outsole, the Tree Glides offer just the right amount of grippy tread and traction, keeping you steady on your feet with stable, confident strides.
Versatility That Matches Your Day
If we can toot our own horn, the Tree Gliders blur the traditional boundaries of athletic and casual footwear. They merge sustainable, high-performance technology with a sleek, trendsetting, yet familiar design. The minimalistic aesthetic and color options pair with everything from athletic wear to your everyday favorites, adapting to meet the moment with ease.
Of course, this versatility is no accident. The design philosophy behind the Tree Gliders was to create a shoe that feels at home wherever you wear it. It's a shoe that handles the rhythm of a busy lifestyle and adapts accordingly to whatever you throw at it. This outlook extends to the shoe’s overall construction, built to withstand the wear and tear of daily life—and the occasional spin in the washing machine when they need a refresh.
Built with a Lighter Footprint (Literally)
From the sugarcane-based SuperLight midsole to the tree fiber upper, every component of the Tree Gliders are thoughtfully designed to minimize its environmental impact. The result? A shoe that doesn’t just perform well and feels great on your feet but also aligns with our commitment to cut our carbon footprint in half by the end of 2025 and then to near zero by 2030. In fact, the Tree Gliders boast a carbon footprint of just 4.19 kg CO2e, making them one of the lowest-impact shoes on the market.
The Tree Glider is the perfect partner for all your daily pursuits. Slip into a pair and experience the effortless comfort and stylishly versatile design that will redefine your everyday wear.
