The North Face Gray & White Glenclyffe Urban Low Sneakers

Product Insights & Style Tips

The North Face Glenclyffe Urban Low Sneakers take their cues from streetwear’s new outdoorsy mood, landing somewhere between city slick and trail savvy. The mix of LWG-certified suede, rugged ripstop, and buffed faux-leather trim puts texture front and center, while the stone slab and white ash palette keeps things neutral but never boring. The water-resistant finish and mesh lining promise a cool, easy-wearing experience, rounding out a sneaker that looks as sharp under cropped denim as it does with technical cargos. Branding stays sleek—think embossed logos at the heel and a clean hit at the padded tongue—letting the materiality and silhouette do the lifting.

On foot, the Glenclyffe Urban Low is all about comfort that moves with you. The padded collar, plush tongue, and resilient rubber sole create a soft barrier between you and the pavement, while the SURFACE CTRL™ treaded outsole grips with just enough bite for slick subway stairs or weekend park hangs. A subtle pull-tab at the heel adds a slip-on appeal while the lace-up closure offers a locked-in fit, making transitions from city grind to off-duty easy and uncomplicated. Layer these with thick socks or let ankles breathe—either way, the lightweight mesh lining keeps things breezy, even on the longest days out.

The North Face’s street-meets-trail identity has always set it apart, and here, the Glenclyffe Urban Low sneakers tap into the ongoing fashion conversation: utilitarian, tactile, and low-key unexpected. They’re a nod to the blurring lines between performance gear and everyday cool, fitting right in with the styled-for-anywhere wardrobe the modern cool girl builds piece by piece.
