Introducing Allbirds’ newest silhouette: the Tree Glider, a go-anywhere, goes-with-anything shoe that is crafted to perfectly complement an active lifestyle- available online and at the brand’s flagship store in Dubai Mall from October 1st, 2024.
Inspired by the feeling of lightness, the Tree Glider exudes effortless ease with soft lines and elevated curves, subtle knit detailing, and a lightweight construction.The distinct design blends aesthetic and athletic to transition seamlessly between settings. Its outsole traction pattern is designed for dynamic movements and made to move with you through your day – whether you’re hitting your step count or hitting up a new lunch spot with friends.
“In an industry saturated with maximalist designs, we instead exercise a reductive approach, stripping away the superfluous to focus on enduring elements of style,” said Jamie McLellan, product designer, Allbirds. “The Tree Glider reflects this refined way of creating. Every detail was designed with a singular intention: create a closet staple that perfectly suits an active lifestyle, moving effortlessly with you no matter what the day demands.”
The Tree Glider is constructed with a one-piece knit upper that delivers a sock-like feel from the very first step. The upper is made with Allbirds’s signature Tree material – a combination of TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers and recycled polyester – to maximize airflow.
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers give fabrics a natural softness and keep feet cool and dry when activity heats up thanks to effective moisture control. The fibers are carefully sourced from controlled or certified wood sources – including spruce, pine, birch, beech, and eucalyptus – meeting FSC® or PEFC standards, meaning the wood taken from nature is purposefully balanced with forest growth rates. TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are made with at least 50% less carbon emissions and water consumption when compared to generic lyocell.¹
Its SuperLight midsole, which is Allbirds’s lightest weight and lowest carbon foam, offers a plush feel underfoot for all-day comfort. SuperLight Foam is approximately 70% bio-based, compared to usual industry foams that are often made entirely from petroleum-based plastics.
The shoe weighs approximately 7.6oz (W8) and has a carbon footprint of just 4.19 kg C02e – less than one-third of a standard sneaker’s carbon footprint, which is about 14 kg CO2e based on our calculations.
The Tree Glider is available in full and half sizes across men’s and women’s. The new style is available in four colorways, online at www.allbirds.ae and in stores beginning October 1st, 2024 for AED550/- .
