Allbirds, which delivers comfort to your feet using natural, nature-derived materials, launched two new sandal types, "Flip Flop" and "Slide," in March 2026. The upper is made of recycled lyocell fiber, the midsole uses sugarcane-derived EVA material "SweetFoam™," and the outsole is natural rubber. The comfort of these sandals has been significantly refreshed from previous Allbirds sandals, achieving both plush cushioning and a barefoot-like feel.
To allow more people to experience these products, a limited-time POP UP is being held at Okinawa Urasoe PARCO CITY from April 18 (Saturday) to June 28 (Sunday), 2026.
First Sandal "Sugar Zeffers"
Allbirds launched its first sandal, "Sugar Zeffers," in 2018. It was an innovative pair that was the first in the world to use sugarcane-derived material for shoe soles.
After four years, the new "Flip Flop" and "Slide" have been redesigned from scratch, from material selection. These two models, reborn with ultimate plush cushioning, redefine sandals not just as footwear for "just stepping out" but as "items that make the time spent barefoot comfortable."
Plush, Ultimate Cushioning
The midsole, made with sugarcane-derived EVA material "SweetFoam™," gently supports your feet even during long hours of use.
It combines durability and cushioning suitable for daily use, from morning dog walks to weekend beach time.
Keep Your Feet Dry Even in Sweaty Seasons
The textured surface of the midsole reduces stickiness on the soles of your feet even when sweating.
Designed with the assumption of being worn barefoot, it achieves functionality as a summer essential.
Comfortable Fit with Eucalyptus Tree Knit Material Thong
The technology of eucalyptus fiber, cultivated in Allbirds' flagship "Tree" series, has been applied to the thong part.
It reduces discomfort caused by rubbing between the toes and provides a familiar fit from day one.

Okinawa POPUP Details
From April 18 (Saturday) to June 28 (Sunday), 2026, a limited-time POP UP will be held at Okinawa Urasoe PARCO CITY 2F Blue Zone.
Because Okinawa's lifestyle involves spending a long time barefoot throughout the year, Allbirds' natural material beach sandals will blend into the daily lives and feet of the people of Okinawa. This is an opportunity to actually experience the comfort of wearing them barefoot.
About Allbirds
Allbirds was founded in San Francisco in 2016 by Tim Brown, a former New Zealand national soccer player, and Joey Zwillinger, a biotechnology expert, forming an unconventional team.
Questioning traditional shoe manufacturing, which used large logos, flashy colors, and chemical materials, they focused on Merino wool from Tim's home country, New Zealand. Believing in the potential of superior Merino wool, Tim teamed up with Joey, and "Allbirds" was born, combining comfort, sustainability, and simple design.
Their flagship product, "Wool Runners," gently wraps the foot with high-quality Merino wool. In addition to its comfort, which boasts warmth, breathability, and odor-eliminating properties, it has been thoroughly manufactured with environmental considerations, such as using recycled polyester for shoelaces, castor bean oil for insoles, and sugarcane-derived SweetFoam® for soles, reducing its carbon footprint. Furthermore, its convenience of being machine washable has resonated with many. The company continues to create the latest technology every day.
