Exceptional leather for absolute comfort
Sourced from the finest European tanneries certified by LWG, nappa leather stands out for its finesse and strength. Its smooth finish ensures easy maintenance and remarkable longevity. This premium material gives each sneaker unique flexibility, offering natural support and unmatched comfort even after long hours of wear.
Thanks to its breathability and flexibility, nappa leather guarantees an incomparable feeling of lightness. Its exceptional softness makes it the preferred choice of connoisseurs seeking refined, comfortable sneakers designed to endure through the seasons without losing their shine.
National Standard craftsmanship
Handmade in Europe, these sneakers benefit from precise construction and special attention to every finish. Full-grain leather linings ensure better thermal regulation and a second-skin sensation. Lightweight and durable natural rubber soles provide optimal cushioning for daily use.
Each pair results from an artisanal manufacturing process combining traditional techniques with contemporary innovation. This mastery of craftsmanship, dear to National Standard, gives each creation lasting quality and a unique aesthetic signature.
