Walsh X Universal Works Ensign Trainer

Universal Works has friends and partners all over the world, but for our latest collaboration we headed a little closer to home, to Bolton and the factory where Walsh still complete most of their processes.⁠

First introduced in 1981, the ENSIGN was originally designed for runners competing in the New York Marathon. At a time when the industry was increasingly focused on new technological materials, founder Norman Walsh chose to remain true to his “less is more” design philosophy, taking a purer approach to performance running footwear.

Brand

Universal Works

The company's first collection launched in 2009 with David Keyte (UW co-founder, director, designer) working from his kitchen table with an aim to make real, honest clothing based on fit and good design, though never over designed.
Universal Works was inspired by David’s formative years growing up in a provincial Midlands' town in the seventies, part of a working-class family that loved to dress well, seeing his Dad and Uncles in their workwear and also when dressing for the weekend.
