ADIZERO and Allbirds Join Forces on the 2.94kg CO2E Shoe

— April 12, 2022 — Eco
adidas works in collaboration with Allbirds on the new 2.94kg CO2E sneaker model in a color palette that blends together Non Dyed, Cloud White, and Carbon together. It is a lightweight silhouette made for running functions and is made with sustainability in mind first and foremost.

It's crafted from natural materials and ensures performance-ready elements resting on top of a bio-based midsole foundation - it's made from 17% plant content that is made from sugarcane. This supports a lightweight material throughout the upper with a textile lining and classic laces at the forefront. Additional details include the subtle branding found on the lateral side of the shoe. Notably, the 2.94kg CO2E weighs only 2.94kg for a smooth feel.
