Our design takes inspiration from our KEEXS Classic Black Pride of our Fela Kuti Collection released in 2016 and Ijinle slip-on from the IBILE Collection released in 2017.

The phrase “True blue” stands for being Loyal and unwavering in one’s opinions or support for a cause… Are you “True Blue” when it comes to your country? Are you a patriot and an agent of positive change?

This classic 3.0 is our 3^rd version of upgrade from the Fela Kuti Collection released in 2016 with a lighter, improved non-slip outsole and more refined vegan leather upper.

In 1964, living the dream of their freshly gained independence, Zambia started a space program that would put the first African on the moon, catching up with the USA and the Soviet Union in the space race.

Only a few optimists supported the project by Edward Makuka Nkoloso. Financial aid never came and a 16 year old astronaut, Martha got pregnant. That is how the heroic initiative turned into an exotic episode of the African history.

Our photographic adaption is from the works of Cristina de Middel, a Spanish documentary photographer and artist.
