Mai Chau Canvas Black
Make way for sunny days with Mai Chau's 100% vegan collection. Designed to accompany you on all your summer adventures, they'll bring comfort and pep to all your casual outfits.
N'go designed this pair to address the #1 problem with canvas tennis shoes: resistance. It was co-created with its community through surveys and round-table discussions. All validated by lab and wear tests to ensure durability.
To ensure this pair lasts more than one summer, the N'go teams selected thick GOTS-certified organic cotton for the upper, inner lining, laces and embroidered eyelets. By choosing to limit the use of materials, N'go has also ensured that the transportation involved in sourcing the materials is kept to a minimum (less CO2 emissions), and that the pair is recycled at the end of its life (again, less CO2 emissions).
Made in Vietnam.

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.
Mai Chau
The organic canvas tennis shoe for all your summers.
A little strip that says it all
This woven band is the N'go signature. When you wear these sneakers, you're supporting the skills of independent Vietnamese craftswomen. The motifs in the Mai Chau collection were hand-woven by Thoa, an autonomous and independent Vietnamese craftswoman from the White Thai ethnic minority in Mai Chau, hence the choice of collection name.
Place for organic cotton
We have chosen organic cotton, which is produced without the use of chemicals. It preserves water and soil quality. The cotton in our canvas pair is GOTS-certified.
Comfort above all
Designed to feel like slippers, our sneakers are padded with soft foam that conforms to the shape of the foot. We've selected a thick insole for optimum comfort, which is also removable so that it can be replaced with an orthopedic insole if required.
Tying the knot
Lace-up closure; the N'go logo and eyelets embroidered directly on the upper add a touch of elegance and minimalism to the shoe.

A. AnonymousRéponse de N'go Shoes
Merci !
Très jolie. Mais : Ne taille pas comme les autres chaussures de la marque... Semelle très rigide.
M. AmbreRéponse de N'go Shoes
Merci pour ce retour ! Effectivement les Mai Chau taillent petit. Nous vous recommandons de choisir une pointure au-dessus. En ce qui concerne la rigidité de la paire, elle se fait au pieds en la portant quelques jours.
Elles sont vraiment belles, je les aime beaucoup. Je trouve juste la semelle un peu dure, peut-être faut-elle qu'elle se fasse.
G. FlorenceRéponse de N'go Shoes
Merci beaucoup Florence ! Effectivement elle va se faire en les portant. N'hésitez pas à nous refaire un retour d'ici quelques temps !

The greenhouse gas footprint is expressed in kilograms of CO₂ equivalent, and was calculated using the methodology and data of ADEME (Agence de la transition écologique).
Source: ADEME's Impact Base version 2.0 and bibliography resources.
Methodology: Simplified life cycle assessment based on ADEME BPX 30-323 technical base.
Scope: entire product lifecycle: materials, fabric manufacture, garments, accessories, transport, packaging, use, end-of-life.
Margin of error: The calculation method is a simplified life-cycle analysis, intended as a decision-making aid by highlighting action levers and major environmental impact items. The average uncertainty rate for a life-cycle analysis is 25%, with uncertainty linked to the data collected and to emission factors (greenhouse gas emissions per kg of process).
Tool: Calculations are made automatically by a platform developed by La Belle Empreinte, for which the greenhouse gas and freshwater eutrophication indicators have been certified by an ADEME delegate.
