Most of us have sacrificed the back of our heels for an excruciating pair of shoes, but when the weather turns windy and wet, we’re on the hunt for footwear that sacrifices neither fashion nor functionality. Enter the Allbirds x Shrimps capsule collection! Embracing the best of both brands, the collaboration features a pair of sustainably-made Allbirds hiking shoes, the Trail Runner, paired with the signature Balthasar coat and Mini Antonia bag by Shrimps. Known for their faux fur trimmed coats that spatter everyone’s Pinterest boards, it’s great to see London-based brand Shrimps pairing up with a brand that has put carbon-neutral production at its core and signals an ambition for its own future.
The trainers, crafted from merino wool, is a material sustainably sourced via Allbirds longstanding network of merino farms. Paired with Shrimps’ use of recycled fibres and natural self-cleaning wool, the partnership represents more than just well-curated aesthetics. With an elongated silhouette and a wonderfully comfortable track sole, the trainers can be styled with trousers or a skirt and tights. Paired with the balthasar coat and the mini antonia bag (which is entirely embellished with pearls!) the capsule strikes the perfect balance between city chic and comfort. While collaborations between sport and fashion-forward brands are nothing new, Allbirds x Shrimps hits an original note with a capsule that equally and beautifully celebrates the iconic codes that both brands are loved for.
