Stepney Workers Club is a new footwear label based in East London and its very first collection is comprised of a series of understated laid-back silhouettes. Stepney Workers Club draws a strong inspiration from the culture of traditional Worker's Sports Clubs and the influence is translated through the brand's logo of a handshake and its slogan that reads "Freedom of Sport, Freedom of Thought."
Stepney Workers Club's first collection is comprised of two different silhouettes -- the low cut Dellow shoes, and the high-top Varden sneakers. Both of the sneakers are available in the choices of either a canvas base upper or a suede crafted upper. There is also a range of colorway options including the classic monochromatic choices, and a selection of pastel hues.
