A minimalist and lasting vision, led by the brand’s founder
Arnaud de Louvencourt, founder of National Standard, designs high-end sneakers with clean lines made to last. Blue, often underestimated, becomes in his hands a modern and bold alternative to black or white. Each pair is conceived as a reinterpreted essential: understated, but full of character.

How to care for your blue sneakers
Although they hide stains better than white models, blue sneakers still require proper care:
- Wipe with a damp cloth after use
- Apply a cleansing milk or neutral cream
- Use a waterproofing spray every 15 days
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight
- Store in a dry place, away from dust
👉 Proper care ensures radiant leather and stable color over time.
