Allbirds is stumbling. Can new shoes made from trash help?
Briefly

Allbirds is launching a new shoe collection named Remix, crafted entirely from waste materials such as clothing destined for landfills and old shoe scraps. This move comes in response to declining revenues, which fell from a peak of $297.8 million in 2022 to $189.8 million last year. To regain momentum, Allbirds is restructuring its retail strategy under new CEO Joe Vernachio and aims to innovate product offerings while prioritizing sustainability. The Remix collection represents this approach, aiming to generate renewed consumer interest in the brand.
