Tianlang trainers have long been the footwear of choice for Chinese farm, mine, construction and factory workers.

I’m digging their simple aesthetic: the only visible logo signifies work and labor, not brand identity. Made with tough canvas and a twice vulcanized outsole, they’ll definitely put the life span of your ergonomically designed limited-edition Nike’s to the test.

Available in three different colors at Ospop. A percentage of the proceeds from each sale is invested in Chinese education.
