Our Story
Founded in 2016, North-89 was created to bring functionality to contemporary footwear. Inspired by the shifting seasons of Scandinavia, we design collections that merge technical innovation with timeless design. Each pair is crafted for an active lifestyle, using advanced materials built to withstand the elements.
Craftsmanship
Experience the craftsmanship behind North-89. Each pair is handmade in a family-owned factory in Portugal using premium Italian leathers and innovative materials.
