Stepney Workers Club works in collaboration with London-based retail brand Goodhood as they update the iconic S-Strike sneaker model for the season. The duo has worked alongside one another before and this time around, the collaborative sneaker gets a patterning look.
It is adorned in polka dots all over for a muted yet playful feel, describing itself to be "understated but noticeable for the people who appreciate the subtle art of detailing." The shoes are simplistic and have branding details found on the rear heel plate nodding to Goodhood and along with the tongue, there is a special Stepney Workers Club emblem. It is set to launch in-store and online officially on April 28th on both companies' sites.
