Bathu’s journey continues with the grand opening of its latest flagship store at Mall of Africa, a major achievement for the South African sneaker brand. This launch marks Bathu’s 34th store across the nation, further establishing its reputation as a leader in the local sneaker industry.
Following a successful stint at SOOK, the Mall of Africa’s popular pop-up space, Bathu has now secured a permanent location in this premier shopping destination. The new flagship store offers more than just a place to shop—it’s an immersive experience that captures the essence of Bathu’s innovative spirit and commitment to excellence.
The store’s sleek and modern design showcases the brand’s latest offerings, including iconic styles like the Khalanga, 10/43, Ndofaya, and Journey 2.0. In a special tribute to women, Bathu is also unveiling the 908, their first-ever sneaker designed for women, celebrating female empowerment.
“We are committed to not only delivering quality products but also upholding integrity and excellence in every aspect of our business,” said Cedrick Diphoko, Group Managing Director of Bathu Group. “Our new flagship store is a clear representation of this commitment.”
For Theo Baloyi, Founder and CEO of Bathu, the new store is a reflection of the brand’s ethos: “This space is more than just a retail store; it embodies our mission to empower people to ‘Walk Their Journey.’ We invite everyone to experience Bathu’s vision and be part of this exciting new chapter.”
Since its inception in 2015, Bathu has grown into a brand that goes beyond footwear. The company’s motto, “Walk Your Journey,” speaks to its dedication to self-empowerment, perseverance, and passion. With 34 stores already in operation and a strong online presence, Bathu continues to inspire its customers to take pride in their individuality and strive for their dreams.
As Bathu looks toward the future, it remains focused on its mission to uplift and empower, making each step of its journey as impactful as the last.
