Warrior (Chinese: 回力; pinyin: Huílì) is a brand of athletic shoe from China, founded in Shanghai in the 1930s. From the 60s to the early 80s it became a nationwide shoemaker in China. In the mid 80s foreign brands became more popular, and Warrior is often seen as a working class shoe. Nowadays various companies have started importing them to the west, and they are sold along with Feiyue shoes in fashionable areas of Chinese cities.
Warrior is owned by Shanghai Huayi, a chemical company. There are also Warrior brand tires, made in a joint venture with Michelin.
