Leonardo DiCaprio has invested in NZ shoe company Allbirds. The company was the brainchild of Tim Brown, a former All White, who'd spent an awful lot of time in football boots, and became  moderately obsessed with how loud and artificial it all was and how often they needed to be replaced. He came up with the idea of a shoe made of merino wool.
