Why are we manufacturing in Vietnam and not in France?
It is in February 2016, during a meeting of these two childhood friends, that the idea of a unique French-Vietnamese sneaker, made in a traditional way, was born. Kévin and Ronan were convinced they could make responsible sneakers in Vietnam, in compliance with the human rights and environment protection. It is also a tribute that Ronan pays to the country that has always welcomed him warmly.

Care tips
Before using them for the first time, we advise you to protect your N'go with a waterproofing spray suitable for the fabric, and to repeat this operation regularly.
As our shoes are partially hand-woven, they are not suitable for machine washing. This could damage the materials and cause the colors to fade.
To remove stains, wash by hand with cold water and soap.
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.
