and we will tell you why.

their ever growing community,

support of youth culture, and innovation in

pushing the African skate culture.

Waf have stayed true to their roots

constantly trying to represent

Nigerian and African Skaters.

The South African shoe brand

has been in existence for over 40 years

with the sole mission (pun intended)

of “making the best possible shoe for the purpose in which it will be used.”

prioritizing on comfort, durability, quality and style

Dakotas make bold to say those who wear the brand

are south African to the core.

the brand has been around for a pretty long time

and isn’t concerned with nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake

but as a testament that a true Original is always in demand.
