Lekau Sehoana, CEO and founder of Drip footwear celebrates DRIP’s Fourth Anniversary. DRIP is more than a shoe company; it has evolved to represent success and inspiration in streetwear and sneakers.
The shoe company was established Lekau Sehoana, an accomplished businessma. Sehoana’s journey began when he was a young man with a love for fashion.
He became well-known after creating success out of his DRIP Footwear company. He had nothing but talent and dreams when he began his career.
Lekau started his sneaker business in 2019, although he had tried his hand at other ventures that didn’t work out. He persisted, nevertheless, and eventually entered the fashion business.
I went through not having shoes to wear in high school, back in 2003. To having a Sneaker Brand Startup with 600 Pairs in 2019. Selling them out and manufacturing 1200 more pairs. I’m giving my painful story a successful ending. @kuliroberts @DRIPFootWear #DRIPFootWear #DRIP pic.twitter.com/YQXZV58JYb

Sehoana’s passion for making sneakers arose after he reconstructed worn-out Adidas sneakers with denim and polyurethane in Grade 8. He later spent eight years in his early years renovating footwear.
The Limpopo native decided to start his firm to pursue a career as a sneaker creator full-time. He opened his first store in Johannesburg’s Newton Junction and the second DRIP Footwear location was established in July 2020.
The 10th and 11th DRIP footwear stores were officially opened in Kwazulu-Natal the next year.
DRIP foot wear has grown to become one of Mzansi’s favorite shoe brands and it currently employs more than 340 people and operates more than 20 stores across South African provinces.
Sehoana has put much effort into realizing his aspirations of being one of South Africa’s wealthiest businesspeople.
The company grew into a multi-million rand enterprise with customers like DJ Sbu Cassper Nyovest, Anele Mdoda, and Clement Maosa in such a brief time. Lekau Sehona still plans to expand the DRIP footwear brand’s presence worldwide.
Alongside winning numerous awards, Lekau Sehona has achieved significant achievements with DRIP. The company’s success can be partly attributed to Sehoana’s commitment to uplifting and empowering his neighborhood.
He intended it to stand for youth aspiration and hope. He actively supported and mentored aspiring businesspeople, motivating them to pursue their goals despite challenges.
