The Pick: North-89 No-2 trainers

Looking to put the 'smart' in 'smart casual'? This elegant pair of sneakers by North-89 offer instant European flair.

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 will help you dress for an autumnal heatwave in the office, and 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-2 pair. Made using a premium Italian suede upper, waxed cotton laces and calfskin lining, the sneakers sit on a rugged Italian margom sole with reflective stitching — making it the perfect shoe for autumn and winter.

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.”
