Allbirds' new Tree Pipers sneakers are shipping now
This sneaker is made from the brand’s sustainable Tree fiber, which is light and breathable for the warmer weather.
Men's Tree Pipers
The comfortable midsole is also sustainably made from Brazilian sugarcane, which the brand coined “SweetFoam,” to provide a contoured and bouncy feel. The insole is layered with castor bean oil and Merino wool, making it moisture-wicking and odor-reducing for prolonged outdoor use, while its laces are made from recycled water bottles.
In line with Allbirds’ pledge to reduce and eventually eliminate its products’ carbon footprint, the Tree Pipers’ carbon footprint is 7.5 kilograms carbon dioxide equivalent emissions (CO2e) — comparatively, the average sneaker generates about 12.5 kilograms of CO2e.

And like most Allbirds shoes, the Tree Pipers are machine-washable. The brand recommends pulling out the shoe’s insoles and laces and hand washing them before tossing the shoes into your washing machine using a delicates bag. When they’re done, you can shake off any excess water and let them air dry — Allbirds doesn’t recommend tumble drying them.
The Tree Pipers are available in both Women’s sizing (5-11) and Men’s sizing (8-14), as well as in three different colors: Luna (Grey), Kaikoura White and Moonrise (Navy).
