Our notes Introducing the latest sneaker in our collection. Working with one of the best factories in Portugal for sneaker production, these have been over a year in development — from the sketch to coming off the production line this summer. Navy and white is a trainer palette that has never needed reinventing. The Bergen keeps it clean — an off-white body with navy panels at the toe, heel and quarters, off-white laces, and a navy tread carrying the colour right down to the ground. What lifts it is the detail. The eyelets sit hidden behind the upper apart from the top pair, left white and on show. Perforations across the toe let air move through and break up the panel. A soft light grey vegan suede patch sits at the back, and there's a gold-leaf WVS on the side and again on the tongue, with stitching worked around the tongue details. The outsole has a subtle WVS emboss underneath. First look, you don't see these details, but they come together to make a shoe with class. When you own them you see them — and you know you're wearing a pair of ethically made, high quality vegan sneakers by Will's Vegan Shoes. The upper is cut from our signature Italian bio-based vegan leather made with 62–66% plant-origin materials, panelled with Italian navy vegan suede that gives a soft matte contrast against the smooth off-white. Step in and your foot sits in padding — the tongue is padded all the way down, and so is the collar and around the sides. Underneath there's a removable contoured sports insole shaped to follow your foot, with a breathable recycled polyester mesh lining keeping air moving around it. They're built the way athletic shoes are built. Strobel construction stitches the upper directly onto a flexible fabric base, so there's no rigid board sitting between your foot and the ground, and the TR cupsole is bonded on around the sidewall. It's why they flex through the forefoot from the first step rather than needing breaking in, and why the pair comes in at 900g. The low profile is what makes them so easy to place. They work under tailoring — grey flannel trousers and a fine knit, where the navy and white brings some colour and contrast to it. Dark denim and a plain t-shirt. Chinos with the hem turned once. Shorts in August. Navy and white gets along with everything. That's the whole point of them.
