Allbirds Wool Runner NZ - Men's

Elevate your everyday sneaker game with the Wool Runner NZ — a refined take on a modern classic. This silhouette combines the laid-back comfort of the original with next-level materials and thoughtful detailing, all grounded in sustainable design.

Upper & material

• Crafted from responsibly-sourced ZQ Merino wool, the upper offers a soft, itch-free feel against the foot, while delivering durability and a clean, minimalist aesthetic. 

• The wool’s natural temp-regulating and moisture-wicking properties help keep your feet comfortable across seasons. 

Midsole & comfort

• A dual-density “Featherbed®” insole with memory-foam-style cushioning wraps you in soft support from launch. 

• Beneath the foot sits a SweetFoam® midsole (made in part from sugar-cane) offering just the right combo of firmness for stability and softness for all-day wear. 

Design & fit

• The “NZ” update brings in refined styling cues, nodding to New Zealand roots and modern minimalist sensibility. 

• The fit runs true-to-size for most, with the brand recommending going half a size down for best fit. With its moderate width and streamlined profile, the Wool Runner NZ works seamlessly from casual errands to smart-casual outings.

Sustainability & ethos

• From materials to manufacturing, the design consciously replaces petroleum-based synthetics with natural fibers and relies on responsible sourcing. 

• Wool is chosen not just for comfort, but for its lower-impact footprint in the brand’s mission to reduce carbon and material waste. 

Care & maintenance

• Easy to look after: simply remove the insoles and hand-wash them separately when needed to keep your pair looking fresh. 

• Wool naturally resists odor thanks to its antimicrobial properties, meaning less frequent full cleans.
