New Brand: Stepney Workers Club<\/h1>\n
\n

Words: Sebastian Nicu<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Shoes do not always have to be modern. But that does not mean that they have to be handmade full-brogues, either. The latest addition to our footwear brand range is Stepney Workers Club<\/a> (S.W.C.), coming straight out of London\u2019s working-class district Hackney. Thus the visible inspiration from subcultures such as punk, skateboarding and many more is no accident.<\/p>\n

Even though the members of these subcultures used to like to slap each other\u2019s faces, they had
\na common preference for classic sneakers with vulcanized soles. But the history of such sneakers can be spun much further, all the way back to the peace-loving Worker Sports Clubs of the twenties. Under the slogan \u00bbFreedom of Sports, Freedom of Thought\u00ab, S.W.C. rethinks classic silhouettes and combines high vulc soles with various high-quality upper materials. The handshake logo of the brand is in keeping with the anti-fascist idea of unity that sports clubs cultivated.<\/p>\n
