Premium sneakers for timeless style
National Standard designs its premium sneakers as the expression of understated luxury. Handmade in Portugal, they embody precise artisanal craftsmanship, guided by Parisian design. Each pair captures the essence of the brand: elegance, simplicity, and meticulous attention to detail.
Whether worn daily or while traveling, our sneakers convey a contemporary allure — both relaxed and sophisticated. Full-grain leather, natural linings, and sleek soles give every model a unique and lasting character.
National Standard’s iconic editions
Our sneakers stand out through emblematic editions that have become urban wardrobe references. The Edition 6, a flagship men’s model, embodies pure simplicity: a clean silhouette, smooth leather, and architectural lines. It’s an elegant sneaker designed for those who appreciate minimalist design and enduring quality.
For women, the Edition 7 offers a lighter take, with balanced volumes and subtle tones. Its supple lines and premium leather make it both refined and comfortable.
The Edition 9, shared by both worlds, embodies the essence of National Standard’s style: suede leather, a neutral palette, and tone-on-tone finishes. It blends Parisian design with durability, creating a versatile and sophisticated sneaker.
Artisanal and responsible manufacturing
All our sneakers are crafted in specialized Portuguese workshops, where each pair is hand-assembled and finished. The materials come from LWG-certified tanneries, ensuring a process that respects both the environment and the artisans. This standard guarantees consistent quality and a flawless fit.
The lightweight sole, integrated cushioning, and supple leather offer ideal comfort for city life. Each model is built to last and age gracefully.
High-end materials
National Standard sneakers stand out through their selection of European leathers — nappa, nubuck, and suede — each bringing its own character and finesse. The finishes are discreet, the stitching precise, and the linings breathable. The result: sneakers that are durable, flexible, and comfortable in every season.
The color palette ranges from pure white to sandy beige, light grey, and deep black. These timeless shades make it easy to create balanced and elegant combinations.
Premium sneakers for men and women
This collection is aimed at lovers of authentic style, whether men or women. Our unisex models, such as the Edition 9, express a modern vision of design: the same standards, materials, and finishes. Each pair embodies natural elegance, free from gender distinction.
The women’s models emphasize lightness and flexibility, while the men’s focus on structure and support. All share the same DNA: comfort and premium quality.
