A demanding brand, driven by a founder obsessed with detail
Founder and creator of National Standard, Arnaud de Louvencourt has always had one obsession: offering an alternative to fast fashion.

Khaki according to National Standard: tones and textures
Our khaki sneakers don’t settle for a single shade. We play with:
- Deep khaki in suede or grained textures
- Military khaki, matte and structured
- Light khaki, almost beige, for a softer feel
Combined with our full-grain leathers, this color gains depth and develops a unique patina over time.
👉 To mix it up, explore our models in chocolate, brown, blue, beige, black or white

As with all National Standard models, our khaki sneakers are made in Portugal in small-scale workshops.
We prioritize:
- European full-grain leathers, both robust and supple

How to care for your khaki sneakers
To ensure the longevity of your khaki sneakers, regular care is essential. Start by cleaning the surface with a soft cloth after each wear to remove dust and dirt.
Khaki leather requires simple yet regular care to stay vibrant:
- Clean with a soft brush or slightly damp cloth
- Use a neutral cream (or a lightly tinted khaki cream if available)
- Protect with a waterproofing spray before first use
- Avoid prolonged contact with water or direct sunlight
- Store in a dry place, ideally with shoe trees
👉 Subtle but effective care helps extend the life of your sneakers.
