About Warrior Shoes
Warrior Shoes is a athletic footwear brand founded in Shanghai in 1927, registered as Huili in the 1930s and considered China's first major rubber shoe brand.
Its most famous model, the WB-1 canvas basketball shoe in white with red and blue details, has barely changed in decades and sums up the house formula: simple construction, durable rubber sole and a popular price. Today's catalogue combines retro reissues of its classics with new canvas and synthetic-leather designs for the young public that has rediscovered the brand.
Between the 1960s and the early 1980s Warrior was the shoe of an entire country, and today it belongs to the Shanghai Huayi group, which relaunched it as an icon of nostalgia and Chinese streetwear. Its shoes sell in fashion stores and online platforms inside and outside China, where they stand alongside Feiyue as the two great classics of Shanghai canvas footwear.
