AKA’s SneAKA collaboration with Reebok is set to change the game as this will be one of the rare collaborations in SA Hip Hop where an artist gets to have their own range of sneakers. Cited as exclusive and limited the range will no doubt sell like hot cakes. This sneaker deal has been labelled as one of a kind and a pacesetter in artist and sneaker brand collaborations in South Africa.
Speaking on the collaboration AKA said ”The last couple of years with Reebok have been amazing, in terms of us making strides in doing things that have never been done before in South Africa. When I started with Reebok, one of my main goals was to really embed myself in the brand to the point that we’re making product together”. He went on to say, “The whole [sneaker designing] process was opened up to me, so I could really see and understand what goes into it. “I think what we’re doing right now is something that a lot of other brands will look at us and think ‘Why didn’t we do that?’ That’s what Reebok and AKA is all about. It’s about being cutting-edge. It’s about being ahead of the pack. That’s why we’re here. This is only the start.”
