About us

Welcome to Emtwini, where passion for footwear meets innovation and style. Born out of a love for sneakers and the culture surrounding them, our journey began in 1993 in the vibrant streets of KwaNdengezi. Where our founder Siyanda Myeni was born. A visionary and innovator. From humble beginnings, he dreamed of creating not just shoes, but a movement that celebrates individuality, creativity, and the spirit of adventure.

At Emtwini, we believe that every step tells a story. Our mission is to empower people to express themselves through unique, high-quality footwear that blends comfort, performance, and cutting-edge design. We take pride in crafting sneakers that not only look good but also feel great, allowing our customers to conquer their day, whether they’re hitting the pavement, attending a concert, or simply hanging out with friends.

What sets us apart is our commitment to authenticity and craftsmanship. Each pair is meticulously designed, inspired by the rich tapestry of urban culture, art, and fashion. Our talented team of designers and craftsmen pour their heart and soul into every sneaker, ensuring that each pair is a true reflection of our ethos. We source the finest materials and embrace sustainable practices because we care about our planet just as much as we care about our customers.

More than just a brand, Emtwini is a community. We celebrate the diverse voices and stories of our customers, athletes, artists, and creatives. Our sneakers have become a canvas for self-expression, and we strive to uplift and inspire those who wear them. Through collaborations, events, and social initiatives, we foster connections that go beyond the product.

As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of sneaker design and technology. We continue to innovate, adapt, and grow, all while staying true to our roots. Join us on this exciting journey as we continue to explore new horizons, break barriers, and celebrate everything that makes sneaker culture so special.

Thank you for being a part of the Emtwini family. Together, let’s step into a world of style, creativity, and individuality—one sneaker at a time.
