What the Twitter fashion police think about the #BathuXSomizi sneaker collab
#BathuXSomizi quickly shot on to the Twitter trends list when fashion-loving celeb Somizi Mhlongo-Motaung and popular SA shoe brand, Bathu, debuted their collaborative kicks on Thursday.
Fittingly for a product co-designed by the self-proclaimed โKing of Blingโ, #BathuXSomizi sneakers are available in four luxe-sounding shades: gold, diamond, platinum and ruby red. Priced at R1,800 a pair, they go on sale on February 12.
Typically the Twitter fashion police are a tough crowd to please, but it seems the collab has largely got the thumbs up.
Here's a snap shot of the reactions so far:

If the majority of South Africans is living less than R 28.00 a day and BathuXSomizi sneakers cost R 1800.00. Who is the target market?
