Sole search: Allbirds taps Modern Meadow for 80% plant-based leather

February 23, 2026 |

In San Francisco, sustainable sneaker pioneer Allbirds has introduced Terralux, a new footwear collection crafted with Modern Meadow’s INNOVERA-brand leather alternative. Made from plant-based proteins, biopolymers, and recycled nylon 6 sourced from end-of-life tires, INNOVERA is 80% renewable and engineered to look, feel, wear, and age like traditional leather. 

The three-piece Terralux collection includes two of Allbirds’ newest and best-selling styles – the Cruiser Terralux and Varsity Terralux – alongside the Runner NZ Terralux, an evolution of the iconic Wool Runner silhouette that launched the brand. The collection transitions seamlessly from day to night, pairing an elevated design aesthetic with Allbirds’ signature comfort, according to Allbirds.
