They say the soles are made using a patented material called "sweet foam", which is derived from sugar cane.
The brand says it took them three years to perfect the "sweet foam recipe."
According to Allbirds, their "new outsole material derived from the world's first carbon-negative green EVA", which means it is created from a more sustainable material that uses a lot less of harmful oil in its products.
