Launched in 2018, Stepney Workers Club (S.W.C.) is an East London footwear brand inspired by the inclusive culture of traditional workers' sports clubs. Founded by Simon See and Roger Pereira, both with backgrounds as designers for British luxury shoe manufacturers, the brand reinterprets timeless, genre-less sneaker classics. Its core message, 'Freedom of Sport, Freedom of Thought,' and signature handshake logo reflect the liberal, anti-fascist values of the historical clubs that inform its identity. The brand’s unisex footwear is recognized for its durable vulcanized construction, a technique reminiscent of mid-century athletic shoes that provides immediate comfort and flexibility.
