Stepney Workers Club Sneakers

Rooted in bygone eras, Stepney Workers Club takes its name from the original Workers Sports Club in the early 20th century, an anti-fascist sports group in the East End of London. The inclusive culture of the club and the involvement in making local sports accessible to everyone resonated with co-founders Roger Pereira and Simon, going on to be the spark that lit the fire. 

That playful handshake logo you’ll have seen? This takes a nod to the OG club’s free-thinking notion and is just like the hand-made graphics and anti-war banners you’d see in the ‘20s and ‘30s. The London label continues to spread the ‘Freedom of Sport, Freedom of Thought’ mantra throughout its retro-style kicks, proving that no sport is too obscure for these sneakers. Walk in them, skate in them, or pedal away in them. They’re endlessly versatile.

The Stepney Workers Club sneakers lineup isn’t vast. But it doesn’t need to be. In contrast to sports giant’s hefty product offerings, instead it favours easy-to-wear looks. There’s a family of four currently, the lace-up DELLOW, a slip-on LISTER, a hi-top VARDEN and last but not least the S-STRIKE, with a side wall identifier.
With an unshakeable focus on durability and comfort, just ask any long-time fan, and they’ll rave about how Stepney Workers Club footwear offers immediate comfort from the first wear. Chunky rubber soles are structured and sturdy enough to withstand daily wear yet are flexible enough for any activity. Tough and timeless, Stepney Workers Club shoes have the look of an old school vulcanised style that could have almost been donned in the gym back in the ‘20s.
