Stepney Workers Club Varden Canvas Shoes

Seen here in a contemporary shade of all-black, these new-season Varden Canvas Shoes from Stepney Workers Club arrive as a creative adaptation of their classic high-top profile. Styled with high-wall uppers constructed from cotton-drill canvas, these after-dark inspired sneakers are further enhanced with a premium-cushioned flexible sole, a concealed siped tread for improved multi-terrain grip and with over-extended foxings for additional wrap-around resiliency. A glossy black outsole is paired with design-matched rubberised overlays across the toe-bumper for extra impact protection against unexpected scuffs and scrapes, whilst the colour-contrasting white-stitch bartack trims across high-stress areas ensures structural integrity is maintained regardless of setting. A metallic 8-eyelet lacing system complements the extended midfoot and allows for the flat-black laces to be securely fastened across the non-invasive SWC ‘handshake’ embroidered tongue, whilst the double-stacked padded ankle collar is neatly paired with single-strip fabric trims down the spine that leads to a sleek ‘SWC’ debossed heel-stamp for a minimalistic yet high-end sign off.

Launched in 2018 by Simon See and Roger Pereira, Stepney Workers Club is a fast-paced brand led by its ‘Freedom of Sport, Freedom of Thought’ ethos and its commitment to performance-focused footwear. Pairing heritage with contemporary desire, SWC’s aesthetic is one that appears truly ageless as it combines tech-led elements with down-to-earth colourways and instantly relatable trims.
