When it comes to sneakers, we know what we like here at Coolector HQ and the guys at Norman Walsh are pretty much producing footwear perfection, in our humble opinion.
Check out our pick of 10 of the best Norman Walsh sneakers for men below:

Named after the city of Chicago, this series reflects the balance of classical tradition and bold modernity that defines the city’s architectural and cultural identity.
Ensign Lite – Green & White
A modern lightweight evolution of the 1981 Ensign design created for marathoner Bolton Harries, this series re-engineers heritage DNA for spring-to-summer adventures and urban commutes.
PB Racer
Superb for fell running, orienteering and cross country training or racing with its cuneiform wrap and lacing system that gives equal pull along the facing and sides of the foot to the sole unit aiding stability.
Tornado Lite
The TORNADO featured an ultra-lightweight upper, grounded to the niptooth outsole with extra EVA cushioning in the midsole to combat the strenuous use and provide extra comfort.
Ensign – Black, Beige & Yellow
Originally designed by Norman Walsh in 1981 for Bolton harriers competing at the New York marathon.The upper combines 600D reinforced nylon with thermo-regulating velvet for lightweight warmth and durability.

The LDN reimagines Walsh’s iconic 1970s Scintilla marathon trainer, blending athletic heritage with London’s understated sophistication.
Attack – Burgundy
Developed in the early 1980’s alongside the Invade, the Attack was a further development and successor to the earlier Cobra racing shoe. This shoe and its Invade counterpart were nicknamed by its users as the ‘1000 mile shoe’ due to its lasting construction.

Born from British athletic heritage, the ALTA crafts urban agility through precision engineering. The leather-nylon upper with Canberra lining balances durability and breathability, paired with Freudenberg midsole technology for lightweight flexibility.
