Men's Tree Topper

About this find

The Men's Tree Topper from Allbirds is a minimalist high-top shoe made with lightweight, breathable eucalyptus fiber. It is meant for warmer weather walking and everyday casual wear, so it suits days when you want a light shoe that stays out of the way while you move around town.

The mid-top shape rises above the ankle line, giving the shoe a little more presence than a low-cut sneaker. The upper has a textured, open-weave knit look across the side. A lace-up closure with round, flat laces runs through four eyelets that are molded into the upper rather than metal.

Small details add polish without making the design busy. Stitched seam trim finishes the collar edge and the tongue area, and a pull tab at the top of the heel gives you something to grab when you slip the shoe on. The rounded toe has no cap or overlay, so the front stays clean.

The low-profile sole is solid, with a smooth sidewall and a slightly upturned toe, and it contrasts with the upper. That contrast frames the knit nicely. Pair these with shorts or relaxed jeans for a laid-back warm-weather look. They fit easily into walks, coffee stops, and weekend errands.
