“This collaboration is two years in the making, and both Reebok and AKA have poured an unprecedented amount of passion, determination and devotion into the project. The brand has partnered with celebrities in other countries like the US with great success, but this is the first time we have done it with a South African artist.
"We were a bit unsure about how South Africans would respond, but we needn’t have worried; we are blown away by the overwhelmingly positive response from Reebok fans," said Jackson.
AKA has also gifted his friends with the SneAKA, including Tshepi Vundla, Da Les, Nomoozlie, Tony Montana, Siya Kolisi, Thando Thabethe, Kim Jayde, and Fikile Mbalula- naming but a few.
