Allbirds Commemorates a Decade of Comfort, Style and Sustainable Design with New Wool Runner NZ

The footwear innovator honors its roots and nods to the future with next-generation Wool Runner NZ

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — When the Wool Runner launched, it didn’t just make a mark; it left an indelible footprint on the footwear industry. Ten years later, it remains one of Allbirds’ most enduring successes–and now, in celebration of the brand’s 10th anniversary, the footwear company is delivering a fresh take on the icon that started it all with the new Wool Runner NZ.

The Allbirds story took flight in 2015, when work began to bring the Wool Runner to market following a successful Kickstarter campaign. The shoe defied the usual rules of footwear by harnessing the power of nature using superfine Merino wool, an unconventional material in an industry ordinarily dominated by virgin synthetics. At launch, inventory sold out in minutes, and soon after, the Wool Runner was described as the “world’s most comfortable shoe.” In the decade since, Allbirds has sold nearly a pair of Wool Runners every minute, and the style has become a mainstay in wardrobes around the world.

Now, Allbirds is introducing the Wool Runner NZ, delivering a modern interpretation of the qualities fans first fell in love with: unparalleled comfort, sleek design and reverence for nature. Reimagining the iconic shoe was the first task taken on by Allbirds’s Chief Design Officer, Adrian Nyman, upon joining the brand in 2023.

“The redesigned Wool Runner blends iconic comfort with refined simplicity—updated fit, elevated feel, and a sharp focus on natural, sustainable materials,” said Nyman.

The Wool Runner NZ heroes Merino wool, the soft, temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking material that made the original Wool Runner famous. It features a wool-blend upper, collar and tongue lining, surrounding the foot with a snug, plush feel from all sides.

Inside, a brand new dual-density insole–the Allbirds Featherbed™–uses cushioned memory foam, paired with Allbirds’ signature wool-blend topcloth to deliver uncompromising comfort that withstands long days on your feet. The Allbirds team tested more than 45 variations to find the footbed that best achieved immediate, out of the box comfort, working with a variety of vendors and testers to validate the new construction. The style is underpinned by Allbirds’ signature SweetFoam® midsole, now with an updated underfoot contour for a smooth, supportive stride and naturally grounded feel.

The design of the Wool Runner NZ maintains a minimalist essence, with the addition of select, sophisticated details including: fluting along the sidewall of the midsole; a new eyelet construction; a concentric outsole design; and updated branding on the heel and tongue.

Its “NZ” moniker pays homage to Allbirds’ origins, New Zealand, where the brand was born as a side hustle of professional athlete Tim Brown. Disillusioned with overbranded shoes made with virgin synthetics, he joined forces with renewables expert Joey Zwillinger to create a better shoe in a better way–an endeavor that led to the creation of the Wool Runner.

“From day one to today, our quest remains the same: make better things in a better way,” said Tim Brown, co-founder, Allbirds. “That quest for better demands a spirit of continuous improvement, so the work of the Wool Runner is never finished. The Wool Runner NZ is a reminder that we will never stand still. We will move forward into the next ten years with as much determination to make things with purpose as we have through our first decade.”

In addition to unveiling the all-new Wool Runner NZ, Allbirds is marking this major business milestone with an entirely reimagined e-commerce experience, out-of-home advertisements in key hubs like New York City and San Francisco, and refreshed storefronts rolling out through 2026.

The Wool Runner NZ will be available in-store and online beginning August 5, 2025, in full- and half-sizes from Women’s 5-11 and Men’s 7-14, at a retail price of $110 USD.

About Allbirds, Inc.

Allbirds is a global modern lifestyle footwear brand, founded in 2015 with a commitment to make better things in a better way. That commitment inspired the company’s first product, the now iconic Wool Runner; and today, inspires a growing assortment of products known for superior comfort. Allbirds designs its products to be materially different by turning away from convention toward nature’s inspiration with materials like Merino wool, tree fiber and sugarcane.

3.3V, Quad-Channel, Hybrid ReDrivers from Diodes Incorporated Enable HDMI 2.1 Signal Integrity for High-Resolution Video Transmission

3.3V, Quad-Channel, Hybrid ReDrivers from Diodes Incorporated Enable HDMI 2.1 Signal Integrity for High-Resolution Video Transmission

PLANO, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) today introduces two 3.3V, quad-channel, hybrid ReDrivers™ with integrated display data channel (DDC) listeners designed to enhance signal integrity for HDMI applications and simplify system designs. The PI3HDX12311 caters to high bandwidth applications up to 12Gbps for HDMI 2.1 fixed rate link (FRL) and transition-minimized differential signaling (TMDS) up to 6Gbps. The PI3HDX6311 supports HDMI 2.0 at 6Gbps. The devices also support DisplayPort™ Dual-Mode (DP++) V1.1 level shifting.

The products act as an intermediary between a source (like a CPU or GPU) and a sink (like a display), compensating for signal degradation over transmission lines. The devices are suitable for applications in laptop and desktop PCs, docking stations, peripheral devices, gaming consoles, DTV and commercial display panels, and HDMI active cables.

Both are hybrid devices that operate in either limited or linear mode. For HDMI 1.4 applications, the devices operate as limited ReDrivers, where the differential output swing is pre-defined by the swing setting to ensure HDMI-compliant levels at the receptacle. In contrast, for HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 applications, they function as linear ReDrivers, where the output swing is directly proportional to the received signal, effectively acting as a trace canceller. This linear mode is inherently transparent to the link training signals, and for the PI3HDX12311, enables 8K DTV video resolution and data rates up to 48Gbps (12Gbps per channel).

The devices allow for AC or DC coupling of the input and output signals, or a mixture of both, with short-circuit detection in DC coupled mode. Both devices also utilize pin-strapping control for operation mode, equalization, flat-gain, output swing, and output -1dB linearity swing. The devices share features like auto selection of TX settings, IOFF support, and far-end receiver detection.

To minimize power consumption, the PI3HDX12311 and PI3HDX6311 monitor the hot-plug-detect (HPD) pin in the connector to control power consumption and enter a low-power state if the HPD is low for more than 2ms. Their DDC listeners function similarly by snooping the HDMI Forum Vendor Specific Data Block (HF-VSDB) and monitoring the same Status and Control Data Channel Structure (SCDCS) offset registers.

The PI3HDX12311 and PI3HDX6311 are available in the tiny 32-pin X1‑QFN2845 package, occupying a 2.85mm x 4.5mm PCB area, and operate across the -40°C to +70°C temperature range with 726mW (typ.) power dissipation. The hybrid ReDrivers are available at $0.99 [PI3HDX12311] and $0.77 [PI3HDX6311] in 3,500-piece quantities.

Risk Considerations

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF): The value of an ETF may be more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities it is designed to track. The costs to the portfolio of owning shares of an ETF may exceed the cost of investing directly in the underlying securities. Derivatives: Derivatives may include, among other things, futures, options, forwards and swap agreements and may be used in order to hedge portfolio risks, create leverage, or attempt to increase returns. Investments in derivatives may result in increased volatility and the portfolio may incur a loss greater than its principal investment. Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small, medium, or large-sized companies may enhance that risk. Short Sales: The portfolio may engage in short sales, and may incur a loss if the price of a borrowed security increases before the date on which the portfolio replaces the security. Quantitative Model: Investments selected using quantitative models may perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected performance. There can be no assurance that use of a quantitative model will enable the portfolio to achieve positive returns or outperform the market. Leverage: When a portfolio is leveraged, the value of its securities may be more volatile and all other risks may be compounded. Commodity and Commodity-Linked Instruments: Commodity and commodity-linked instruments may experience a return different than the commodity they attempt to track and may also be exposed to counterparty risk. Currency Rate: Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect the value of the portfolio’s shares. Foreign & Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, subjects the portfolio to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk. Interest Rate: The values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced for securities with longer maturities. Credit Risk: If the issuer of a debt instrument fails to pay interest or principal in a timely manner, or negative perceptions exist in the market of the issuer’s ability to make such payments, the price of the security may decline. Portfolio Turnover: The portfolio’s principal investment strategies may result in a consistently high portfolio turnover rate. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the portfolio is held in a taxable account. Market Price/NAV: At the time of purchase and/or sale, an investor’s shares may have a market price that is above or below the fund’s NAV, which may increase the investor’s risk of loss. Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the portfolio may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war, terrorism, pandemic, or recession could impact the portfolio, including hampering the ability of the portfolio’s manager(s) to invest its assets as intended.

Prospectus: For additional information on risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.

The index is unmanaged, its returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges, and is not available for direct investment.
