Nadia Nakai recently tugged at the heartstrings of fans when she shared a heartfelt moment on social media, holding a pair of Kiernan “AKA” Forbes’ latest SneAKA 2.0 sneakers. The release, a collaboration between Reebok and the late rapper’s brand, celebrates AKA’s iconic status as a South African music and fashion trailblazer.
The SneAKA 2.0 has got fans excited, with the Megacy lining up outside stores to snag a pair. The sneakers were nearly sold out within two days, prompting a wave of pleas for a restock. With AKA’s legendary influence in both the music and fashion worlds, it’s no wonder this collection has become an instant hit.
Nakai’s touching tribute adds a deeply personal note to the excitement. The rapper proudly showcased her pair in a photo shared by MDN NEWS, accompanied by the caption: “Nadia Nakai received her pair of AKA’s new Reebok sneakers, a special tribute to the rapper’s legacy.” The gesture is a great reminder of the bond the two shared, making this tribute all the more meaningful.
For fans, the SneAKA 2.0 is more than just a sneaker; it’s a way to honour AKA’s contribution to South African culture. His legacy continues to resonate, from his timeless music to his trendsetting style. The collection’s success underscores the lasting impact he’s had on his fans, even after his tragic passing on February 10, 2023.
Adding to the excitement, Channel O has announced a documentary talking about the success of the SneAKA 2.0 launch. The film promises to deep dive into the making of the sneakers and the ongoing celebration of AKA’s legacy.
