Afros is a innovative footwear fashion house founded in June 2012 by designer Emo Rugene out of a yearning to create a fashionable every day shoe that Kenyans can identify with and make their own.
Made out of Ankara fabric, the shoes embody the eclectic vibrancy that is resilient in bourgeoning Nairobi urban cultures.
With designs that are local with an Afro centric aesthetic, Afros are a popular accessory amongst the hip and trendy in Nairobi. It is a fashion must have for anyone who considers themselves fashion forward and was posted by UP magazine Kenya as one of the top ten perfect gifts to get someone for Christmas.
The shoes are hand crafted out of a workshop on River Road, Nairobi. Every shoe takes time in the production process so that the customer gets the satisfaction and feeling of perfection when the purchase a pair. All the materials used on the shoes are sourced locally. This is because Afros is a Kenyan brand geared towards helping the Kenyan market hence we support the local textile industry.
