African Pride Sneakers, Black Entrepreneur Launches First Ever In USA

by | Dec 10, 2015 | Business, History | 1 comment

Now you can wear your African Pride everyday with the USA’s first ever African Pride Sneakers!

Tariq Edmondson, a black entrepreneur from Atlanta, came up with a unique idea to allow small scale businesses and institutions to produce short run custom sneakers with his website Sneakerscustom.com.

Inspired by the classic Converse Chuck Taylor Sneaker Tarqiq created a base shoe that can be customized as you wish and purchased in small scale.

And as the first product to be created for sale he has hit a winner. The shoe has the proud red, black and green colors and a map of Africa stitched onto either side. An eye catching but sleak design is already selling well at home in the USA as well as in the Caribbean and the UK.

At present the shoe can be picked up for just $40 and what is better is that proceeds are said to be going back into the community.

New designs are coming soon but something tells me this will remain a best seller.

It’s amazing no manufacturer has tried to produce an African Pride sneaker before.
