Herring Shoes Journal

This is purely coincidental but our newest men’s trainer shares the name of an Olympic venue from 1996. The Atlanta Olympics marked the 100-year anniversary of the modern version of this much-loved international sporting tournament that we have been treated to this year.

If the Olympics has inspired your inner sporting self, then we salute you, especially if you decide the pole vault is for you! If you just fancy looking a little bit sportier, then our Atlanta trainers could be just what you need.

The Atlanta is our new go-to trainer. It has everything you could want…comfortable insole, premium leather upper, elegant design and supportive outsole. It represents the best mix of quality and value for any discerning customer who is after a great wardrobe staple that is raring to go for work or play.

This style really is rather smart. Made by some of the best Portuguese craftsmen and women, the attention to detail is clear. Zoom in on their listing on our website to see what I mean.  We have given you the choice of black or cognac calf so they can be worn with confidence with a suit but will look equally great with a pair of jeans or chinos.

In summary, the Atlanta is super-sleek with clean lines, pristine, white-rimmed soles and flat laces. This is a standout style.

If a sneaker if more your style, then I can recommend another new shoe on the block, the Amalfi. These come in unadorned black and white calf to team with your outfit of your choice. If you are considering wearing them with a suit, then think Zinedine Zidane at the Olympic opening ceremony or David Beckham on any given day!
