Drip Footwear is a Sneaker Brand created by Lekau Sehoana after growing up in poverty and not having shoes. He created his own shoes using old torn sneakers. 16 Years later he went commercial and created Drip. The Brand is an Athleisure and Lifestyle Brand that features retail stores. The company’s aim is to inspire and create employment using its story and brand.
The founder of the company Lekau Sehoana said in a statement, “2 years after we started DRIP, we started looking inside and outside of what we were doing. And we asked ourselves a lot of questions, Will the Lifestyle aspect of our business be sustainable to what we do? And the answer was not a solid answer, so we started changing our strategy to suit a business that can last over 100 years. The answers were, building a brand that’s more competitive to the bigger global markets, with possibilities of us also going Global. We had to re-do a few aspects of how our Brand was positioned, what it offers and how it communicates. Those are the things we worked on and built a Strategy. From within, we started seeing change as the brand could also live outside a normal drip store into other retailers. Meaning we were able to build a brand competitive enough to be sold anywhere. A product diversification was also one of the few things we strategised on. Now, you’re going to see our Performance and Active Apparel, including Performance Sneakers. This, is not a change, but a brand that listens to its consumer, getting much stronger and more competitive. It’s time to, MAKE A MOVE… Our REBIRTH”
