{"product_id":"barker-ethan-sneakers-navy","title":"Barker Ethan Sneakers Navy","description":"\u003cp\u003eNavy calf is unusual on a sneaker, and it solves a specific problem. Black leather trainers can look heavy and severe with casual clothes; white ones are a standing commitment to keeping them white. Navy sits between the two. It reads as a dark shoe from any distance but carries a blue cast in daylight that keeps it from looking like office footwear that has wandered off. Against denim it is quietly tonal. Against stone, cream and grey it becomes the strongest thing in the outfit without raising its voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause navy is not a colour anyone expects on a leather sneaker, it also does the job of making an otherwise plain shoe worth a second look. There are no contrast panels here and no logo to carry the design, so the colour has to do that work on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarker built the Ethan as the leather counterpart to their Axel sneaker, on the 484 last, F fitting, UK 6 to 12, designed in Northampton. Brogue punching picks out the heel counter and the toe seam and there is nothing else on the upper. A full leather insole and lining sit inside, a full rubber sole underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the darker and warmer option, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/barker-ethan-sneakers-ebony\"\u003eEthan in ebony\u003c\/a\u003e is a burnished dark brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed navy calf with a neutral cream rather than a coloured one, because navy polishes are hard to match and a poor match shows. Wipe off dust after wearing, condition every few weeks, and use shoe trees. Sponge salt marks from winter pavements off with clean water while they are still fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barker","offers":[{"title":"6","offer_id":64187266662777,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_6","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.5","offer_id":64187266695545,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_6_5","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"7","offer_id":64187266728313,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_7","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5","offer_id":64187266761081,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_7_5","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":64187266793849,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_8","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":64187266826617,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_8_5","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":64187266859385,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_9","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":64187266892153,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_9_5","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":64187266924921,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_10","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":64187266957689,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_10_5","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":64187266990457,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_11","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":64187267023225,"sku":"BARKER_ETHAN_SNEAKERS_NAVY_12","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9017\/4329\/files\/446416_option_1024x600_402x_115ed9cd-63ad-4095-a968-aedeb417aa9e.png?v=1786082993","url":"https:\/\/english-brands.co.uk\/products\/barker-ethan-sneakers-navy","provider":"English Brands","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
