Allbirds Men’s Tree Dasher 2
Running shoes are, in general, pretty awful for the environment—they’re often made with all-new materials, and heavy chemical processing. Not so with the Allbirds Tree Dasher 2. It’s made almost entirely from renewable and sustainable materials like Lyocell uppers, sugarcane EVA midsoles, and FSC-certified rubber outsoles, and the company makes sure to completely offset their carbon footprint.
It’s also one heck of a running shoe, with a form-fitting design that gently cradles your foot, and exceptionally grippy outsoles for all-conditions running. In short, it’s a shoe that’s as good for the planet as it is for your feet.

KOIO’s Capri sneaker set the gold standard for all-white sneakers when it was released in 2014—but for our tastes, their Torino is actually the classier shoe. Handmade in Italy from LWG Silver-certified Italian leather, it’s one a sneaker that’s so finely made that you can even substitute it for a dress shoe.
The details on the Torino are remarkable, from tight stitching that gives it great water resistance, to waxed cotton laces, to hand-painted edges for that final bespoke touch. Their retro-inspired look and feel make the Torinos a real standout in any outfit, and a staple that should be in every guy’s closet.

Inside though, they’re all modern—with precision-engineered midsoles for maximum comfort, breathable knit uppers, and a gum rubber outsole for great traction.
Faux leather detailing on the tongue gives them a final touch of style, making them a great match for working out or wearing with a crisp pair of chinos.
