Walk Like A Warrior

There's a new kid on the block in sneaker culture. His name is Warrior.


This is a shoe with a story...


Warrior was born in 1927 as a small off-shoot from a large rubber manufacturer. Made using spare offcuts from the industry, Warrior became a comfortable shoe: durable, hard-wearing and a preferred choice for those who work on their feet.


The iconic shoe was everywhere by the 1970s


but when communist China opened its economic doors the sudden influx of Nike, Chuck Taylors and other hip brands saw the ever-faithful and comfortable Warrior take a backseat becoming the shoe of the worker, and the elderly.


Then something happened. This obscure little shoe, still more or less unknown in the West, got noticed.


The longlasting shoe, whose strength sees it take about a week to wear in but then becomes the most comfortable shoe you've had on your tootsies in yonks and last you for years, has finally made it back.



Recently available in Melbourne, Warrior have just arrived in Perth exclusive to Ruck Rover!

This shoe tells a story about a different side of China. Where a little sneaker has survived cultural changes, in a relatively closed country, and is now out visiting the world. Why not give him a home at your house, or better yet, on your feet?
