Sizing Built on a Converse Chuck base, so your usual Chuck size is your size. US men's 6 to 12, half sizes in 7.5, 8.5 and 9.5. Women, size down two: a women's 9 is a men's 7.
More than one pair Check out once for each pair so every size comes through right.
Delivery Every pair in this drop is expected to arrive by December 11, 2026. They are made to order after the drop closes, so they all ship together.
Why we make them
Every pair is cut and stitched by Fatarazy Segla, an artist who has spent years covering shoes in kente and African print. When you order, we order from him. There is no factory in the middle.
For work like his, there isn't much of a market outside tourism, and tourism doesn't reach everyone. A pair sold here is steady work in his shop, which is the point of the whole thing.
Every shoe starts as a pair that already exists. We give it a second life instead of putting a new one into the world, and because the cloth is cut by hand, no two come out the same.
ReKente comes out of The Essence of Ghana, which has been taking people to Ghana for years. This is for the times you can't go. Something of Ghana to keep with you, and to bring home.
And when you can go, we take people there. Eight days in Ghana, March 2027 →
