VAYA Sneakers is a new sneaker brand launched earlier this year in South Africa.
A sneaker for igniting the hustle fire for the ambitious, looking to bring a different kind of inspiration to the people of Msanzi.
The brand was founded by a Katlehong entrepreneur, Themba Makamo to compete with local and international sneaker brands.
And most importantly, to make people feel confident.
About VAYA Footwear
The name ‘VAYA’ is a township language that means “to-go”, “going” or “go-get-it”, hence, the brand name is “Vaya For It”.
Designed for the hustlers, hard workers, go-getters, and ambitious individuals in South Africa.
It’s not just a sneaker: “The whole vision is about helping ambitious people reach their goals and feel confident”.
The VAYA footwear was founded by Themba Makamo, an entrepreneur with a deep passion to help and assist young people to conquer and reach their goals.
When VAYA footwear was launched this year, they started with a small scale, testing the market of course.
And fortunately, the brand was welcomed and is loved by many South Africans.

While they’re currently selling online, like many brands that started small, they will in the future open their own stores in popular malls and manufacturing factories.
