Saigon Classique '24
The genuine leather sneaker that won't let you out of its grasp
At N'go, each product is embellished with a unique ethnic yoke, a symbol of our commitment to Vietnamese artisans and schools. The designs in the Saigon Classique '24 collection were hand-woven by Lien, an independent Vietnamese craftswoman from the White Thai ethnic minority.

Why manufacture in Vietnam and not in France?
It was in February 2016, when these two childhood friends reunited, that the idea was born for a unique Vietnamese-inspired sneaker, made in a supportive and traditional way. Their own way of proving that it is possible to produce responsibly in Vietnam, while respecting human and labor rights. It's also a tribute from Ronan to the country that has always welcomed him.

Care tips
Waterproofing before first use, and renewing regularly, will protect and extend the life of your leather sneakers.
As our shoes are partially hand-woven, they are not suitable for machine washing. This could damage the raw materials. To remove stains, wash with a damp cloth or brush and a suitable soap.
If your shoes have been caught in the rain, the wrong reflex is to dry them under a radiator or in the sun. Let them air-dry and remove the removable insole.
Discover our cleaning productsRecycling
Give your N'go a second life with our "Second Life" program. Since 2019, we've been offering you the chance to recycle your worn-out N'go sneakers, or to give a new purpose to those you no longer wish to wear.
Each pair received will be cleaned and repaired to be resold second-hand, or, the various components will be recycled if the pair is not repairable.
