Local footwork

The brand’s co-founder and creative director Max Schiller has previously shot campaigns in less obvious locations, such as Ukraine and Israel, in order to reach out to off-the-radar tribes, and produce fresh, unexpected imagery.

Moolman, whose colourful portfolio is a showcase for South African youth subculture, teamed up with stylist Gabrielle Kannemyer to produce a shoot dedicated to local heroes, with a sense of attitude as well as playfulness. Working together, they cast local musicians, artists and student designers, such as Lindiwe Dim, Hakim Melema and Didi and Dodo.

The shoes – which include canvas plimsolls and nubuck high-top trainers – take a back seat in a visual essay that documents the sunny streets of Johannesburg and its creative scene. Schiller was so happy with the results he plans to publish them in a book called Delicious in spring 2016.
