Created in 2018 by Simon See and Roger Pereira, Stepney Workers Club makes clear in each design the level of expertise of its founders. The brand&#8217;s collections feature <strong>timeless and unisex pairs<\/strong>, made from traditional processes that leave aside excesses and take care of the artisan character of each piece. Their designs are characterized by a large robust sole with high cushioning and flexibility, ready to adapt to the rhythm of life of each user.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/footdistrict.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog\/blogstepneyworkersclub2.jpg\" alt=\"stepney-workers-club\" width=\"1000\" height=\"670\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In fact, the brand was born from the Stepney Workers Sports Club, a club founded around 1920 with the goal of promoting an alternative sports league to the UK state one. It is an anti-fascist and anti-war activist group, of which S.W.C. takes the slogan <strong>&ldquo;Freedom of Sport. Freedom of Thought&#8221;<\/strong> as its motto. The brand implements the values of unity, freedom of thought and free spirit to achieve classic, democratic products with clear social principles. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/footdistrict.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog\/blogstepneyworkersclub6.jpg\" alt=\"stepney-workers-club\" width=\"1000\" height=\"670\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Together with the designer Roger Pereira, Simon See found an old canvas sneaker with the typical vulcanized sole from Converse and Vans. The sole represented for them the democratization of a product, something that was very much in line with the principles of the Stepney Workers Sports Club. From that idea, they built a new sneaker led by a logo of shaking hands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/footdistrict.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog\/blogstepneyworkersclub4.jpg\" alt=\"stepney-workers-club\" width=\"1000\" height=\"670\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/footdistrict.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog\/blogstepneyworkersclub5.jpg\" alt=\"stepney-workers-club\" width=\"1000\" height=\"670\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;This is not just another sneaker. It is not a sneaker for parents, or a technological sneaker, or a luxury sneaker,&#8221; says Simon See. &#8220;We see this as something a little more like a wardrobe essential element.&#8221; His first model, the <strong>Dellow<\/strong>, has an affordable price and a simple design so that everyone can wear it and match it with anything.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/footdistrict.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog\/blogstepneyworkersclub3.jpg\" alt=\"stepney-workers-club\" width=\"1000\" height=\"670\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Get a hold now of the latest from <a href=\"https:\/\/footdistrict.com\/en\/stepney-workers-club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stepney Workers Club at FOOTDISTRICT<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The London brand Stepney Workers Club is inspired by the inclusive culture of the Workers Sports Club to launch a shoe proposal loaded with message and concept.
