Selling men, women and children’s shoes, Bloc is a great South African-based brand to shop for
comfortable athletic shoes primarily designed for sports and other forms of physical exercise,
but are also often used for everyday wear. Bloc shoes are lightweight and come in a ton of bold
and neutral colours so you can express yourself however you want. The brand believes that
shoes should make you feel good, and embrace your individuality, so Bloc Footwear was

founded to do just that.


OUR STORY:
- Bloc Footwear was founded by Gift Sithole who was born in Soweto, South Africa. He
spent his first phase of schooling in Soweto, and later moved to Kempton Park where he
attended Norkem Park High School. It was at this stage that Gift discovered his passion
for sneakers and dancing after joining the Kinesics dance crew.
- Because of his love for dancing – comfort and style were Gift’s primary focus when
selecting sneakers to wear for dancing. He was always obsessed with embracing his
unique taste and style in sneakers, and had been endorsed by famous global sneaker
brands such as Nike and Puma. His exceptional taste in sneakers inspired many others
who always looked forward to seeing him wear the latest-released sneakers by big
brands. Gift saw this as an opportunity for him to create his own sneaker brand and
reveal his talent in sneaker design and fashion to the whole world.
- Gift was joined by Zinhle Maseko and Vladimir Mogale who saw great potential in Gift’s
talent and vision for the brand. Together, they started the Bloc Footwear business in
2020 which they aim to grow to be the biggest sports footwear brand in Africa.
The name Bloc is catchy and easy on the tongue. It is a colloquial term for ‘location’. It
comes from wanting our customers to embrace their identity and background whilst
wearing our shoes. We want our customers to relate to the brand and feel more

involved in the design of the shoes by customizing with their own location identifiers.
