About JW Anderson

A British original. JW Anderson is the label founded by Jonathan Anderson, a designer from Northern Ireland who established the brand in London in 2008. What began as menswear grew into one of the most respected names in British fashion; in 2015, it became the first brand to win both the menswear and womenswear awards at the Fashion Awards in the same year.

High-profile collaborations. Anderson made a name for himself with striking collections and collaborations — including with Topshop, Versace and Uniqlo — and caught the attention of major fashion houses. His playful, sometimes uncanny design language makes the brand instantly recognisable.

Sneakers with character. That originality comes through in the footwear: from chunky silhouettes to unexpected details. JW Anderson sneakers are rarely neutral — they are designed to stand out and push fashion forward.
