For Cyber Monday, one of the most highly anticipated online shopping days of the year, Allbirds created a limited-edition Sugar Crash collection of women's footwear—this was particularly sweet for fans of [Allbirds'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allbirds-2) eco-friendly footwear, as the sneaker brand doesn't offer sales or discounts.

In the Sugar Crash capsule collection, Allbirds introduced dessert-inspired colorways like Peach Cobbler, Birthday Cake and Berry Pie for its wool runner, all of which are accented by a cream-colored sole. The soft, lightweight and breathable sneaker styles are made with ultra-fine merino sheep’s wool fibers that are naturally temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking and comfortable to wear. The sneakers are laced with material made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester and come in at less than $100.
