It’s no secret that we are big fans of smart sneakers over at Gentleman’s Journal. A true hero item in any man’s wardrobe, these versatile shoes can take you effortlessly from the boardroom to the bar. If you’re looking to invest in a pair (or three), then we recommend you turn to North-89.
More specifically, we recommend you invest in this No-1 Carbon Weatherproof pair. Made using a special suede, which has been developed to create the perfect weatherproof sneaker, this blacked-out edition comes with matching waxed cotton laces and a calfskin lining. The upper sits on a rugged Italian Margom sole with reflective stitching making it the perfect shoe for the autumn and winter seasons. And, to ensure optimum comfort, the sneakers also feature a durable memory foam insole.


Gentleman’s Journal says:, , “Finally! A smart trainer brand that is both reasonably priced and produces products that stand the test of time. And it’s not only time — these are reliable, hardy sneakers that you can wear day-to-day, and from day to night, without even a twinge of discomfort.”
