Warrior Footwear, a fashion staple and cultural icon born in the streets of 1930s Shanghai

Sunday, 15. November 2009, 21:23:24

“Originally developed in 1935 as a sporting shoe, Warriors intended to provide the public cheap access to athletics. At the time, without the industry presence of international footwear brands, Warrior dominated the Chinese market and became a lifestyle piece in its own right. Warrior was the shoe in China from the 70’s to 90’s. Everyone had a pair at home - - farmers, athletes, laborers, political leaders, and everyone in between. However, as China opened up to Western markets— accepting US mega-brands — Warriors’ status was relegated to that of the de facto shoe for laborers and elderly citizen.”

“Each and every shoe is unique, just like the people who wear them. The shoes are not specific to males or females, so anyone can enjoy any pair.”

Warriors are now a part of Alife Rivington Club, Bodega and Union (warriorfootwear.com)

I have noticed some of the Warrior shoes earlier but didn’t know the history behind the shoes. I really like the classic and simple design. My favorite one is the Street Kung Fu.

James Joyce, One of my favorite

Saturday, 18. July 2009, 13:20:57

James Joyce, not the writer and poet :-) but the London-based artist and illustrator James Joyce, is one of my favorite artists. I love the his simple, bold and colourful prints, the graphic shapes and hand drawn elements in his work. He has a keen eye for typework, color choices and clever concepts. No wonder he is working with big clients, such as Wallpaper, Nike and Penguin Books.
