Inspired by three animals that roam the savannah, UK-based retailer END Clothing is collaborating with East London-based footwear company Stepney Workers Club for an animal-inspired trio of sneakers.
Stepney Workers Club was founded by Simon See and Roger Pereira, after discovering an old pair of sneakers with a canvas upper and vulcanized midsole. With how many different sub-cultures and groups embrace the aesthetic of vulcanized sneakers, the two thoughts aligned to create a genreless brand that creates high-quality footwear.
The latest END x Stepney Workers Club collaboration is a three-pack collection consisting of the Dellow, the Dellow S-Strike, and the Lister. Each sneaker features the SWC vulcanized midsole, printed with the SWC “Handshake” logo along with “FREEDOM OF THOUGHT” printed on the Lister and “FREEDOM OF SPORT” printed on the midsole of the Dellow. The uppers are done in pony hair, each sneaker featuring a stitched outline, and the scientific family and species name of each animal on the back of the tongue tag, while the front of the tag has the END logo featured on the Dellows and the SWC handshake logo featured on the Lister. The animal prints are printed directly onto the upper, with cream laces and heel tab detailing on the Dellows while the Lister has black piping and black elastic accents for the laceless sneaker.
The END x Stepney Workers Club Animal Pack will be released on July 1st, 2022. It will drop exclusively at END, both via their Launches page online and in-store. The retail price is £110/$135, and they come in men’s sizes. Keep it locked to our Twitter andMobile App to stay up to date on future releases.
