Full black sneakers embody both subtlety and strength. With their deep color and minimalist design, they represent the essence of National Standard’s style. These models offer natural elegance, easy to pair and always modern. Each pair is designed to adapt seamlessly from office hours to city walks.
At National Standard, simplicity never means ease. The black sneakers are crafted with precision — fine stitching, carefully selected leathers, flawless finishes. Together they form a sleek, elegant and sturdy silhouette. Their timeless design makes them an essential piece that transcends seasons while retaining their visual impact.
Each pair of sneakers is made from leathers sourced from LWG-certified tanneries. These materials are chosen for their strength, suppleness and refined appearance. Nappa, nubuck and grained leathers are hand-worked in our European workshops. This craftsmanship ensures long-lasting quality and unmatched comfort.
The flexible, cushioned insole follows the shape of the foot, while breathable linings promote natural ventilation even during extended wear. Lightweight, stable and pleasant to walk in all day long, these black sneakers blend ease and contemporary style — ideal for an urban lifestyle.
The collection includes models designed specifically for men and women. The lines differ subtly while maintaining the same refined spirit. Men’s versions emphasize structured shapes and matte finishes, while women’s feature more delicate volumes and softer textures. All share the same commitment: elegance, comfort and durability.
Black sneakers go with everything. They pair perfectly with raw jeans, beige trousers or a tailored suit. Their solid tone adds a chic touch to a casual outfit and enhances the sophistication of a formal look. In winter, they match long coats and dark shades. In summer, they contrast elegantly with light colors.
All National Standard sneakers are made in Europe, in specialized workshops. The production process combines artisanal techniques with modern innovation. Every step — from leather selection to final stitching — is carried out with care. This craftsmanship gives full black sneakers their unique character and remarkable durability.
Choosing black sneakers means choosing a universal style. Their simplicity allows bold combinations, their shade blends effortlessly into any outfit. These shoes capture the essence of Parisian design: discretion, balance and confidence. With either a matte or polished finish, they always bring controlled sophistication to your look.
