Retro-designed sneakers had a defining moment in 2025, and the Chase Sneaker from Johnston & Murphy emerged as a quiet standout. Offered in six considered colorways, the collection delivers versatility with intention—each pair designed to move effortlessly within a modern wardrobe.
We styled two colorways to demonstrate the Chase Sneaker’s natural ability to live within a tailored context.
While inherently sport-driven, the Chase is elevated through supple suede uppers and a streamlined, tapered silhouette. The result is a sneaker that bridges performance and polish—equally at home with tailored trousers as it is with off-duty essentials.
Suited
Shop | Chase Sneaker (Green/Beige/Navy Suede)
During a showroom visit, I spotted this colorway and immediately knew this retro colorway would be perfect paired with a monochromatic navy outfit. With the pops of orange in the sole, rich teal suede and light grey panels, this sneaker feels like you’re wearing 70’s cool.
Honestly, if you’ve ever seen images of Italian men at Pitti Uomo—or simply standing curbside in Firenze with an espresso in hand—you’ve seen this exact formula at work: sharp tailoring grounded by a refined sneaker. It’s effortless, confident, and entirely intentional. So take the cue. Dress with precision, then break the rules—just like they do.
- Let this colorway be the star of your look by pairing it monochromatically
- Go full retro and pair these sneakers with an all-grey sweatsuit (with jogger pants). Trust me

Navy and brown go together like peanut butter and jelly—which is exactly why this colorway feels damn near perfect. The tones are rich, familiar, and effortless to mix into an already well-curated wardrobe.
And here’s the real win: the sleek silhouette steers clear of the chunky-shoe trend, keeping things clean, intentional, and timeless. Consider these a classic staple—now and for seasons to come.
