Sawa

Our opinion

Sawa offers an extensive range of “mid” and low sneakers designed from carefully selected leather. The brand's products are subjected to a battery of tests relating to abrasion, flexibility or durability.

Part of a streetwear and chic universe , Sawa sneakers will find their place in a wide stylistic range and will go easily with denim or chinos.

With a very attractive quality/price ratio, Sawa allows you to equip yourself with Vintage sneakers at a lower cost. The deliberately atypical design and the variegated colors (sometimes to the point of “too much”) could nevertheless dissuade the wisest among you.

The history of the brand Sawa

Sawa is a sneaker brand founded in 2009 by designer and collector Medhi Slimani and two friends. Its objective: to produce 100% “Made in Africa” sneakers. Sawa stands out for its very simple approach to footwear and its characteristic designs.

First established in Cameroon, the company encountered numerous difficulties linked to the country's economic anarchy and high corruption, placing it for a moment on the verge of bankruptcy.

Today, Sawa produces entirely in Ethiopia , a country increasingly recognized for the quality of its specialized footwear workforce.

Collaborating with many rappers like Oxmo Puccino, the French brand is gradually making a place for itself in the world of sneakers, offering a third way between American giants and European designers.
