Editor’s Notes: South African brands Grade Africa and Grasshoppers come together on a pair of footwear inspired by the school shoes that make up part of the uniform of local students. The collaboration serves as a reminder of the strong heritage background both brands have within South African culture through their joint creation of jobs for local craftsmen.

Look for the collaboration to release this Saturday, November 2, at the Grade Africa Experience Centre and at gradeafrica.com.
