Warrior WB-1 white red. The retro athletic shoe brand Warrior Shanghai is Made in China for China. The versatile white canvas sneakers with their signature red or blue leather panels have been an iconic part of streetwear in China since 1927. In early years Chinese products were a necessity as communism kept western companies from expanding and establishing ground in China. Chinese manufactures made their own products including Chinese footwear like Warrior Shanghai. The reign of communism ended and made way for Western brands to intrude the China market. Warrior Shanghai shifted from a all classes to a product of the working class, being a simple, comfortable and easy shoe.
