Soweto Derby Sneaker Kings: Lorch Vs Solomons

Soweto Derby Sneaker Kings: Lorch Vs Solomons

Building up to the highly anticipated Soweto Derby this weekend, we look at the two major sneakerheads from Chiefs and Pirates. 

Check it out! 

What's the story?

Our definition of a sneakerhead is someone who's a die-hard, passionate sneaker fanatic who was plenty of kicks to choose from. 

Two ballers who fit that definition are Kaizer Chiefs' Dillon Solomons and Orlando Pirates' Thembinkosi Lorch.

Let's take a look at each player's sneaker steez... 

DStv Prem sneakerheads: Lorch Solomons 

Each player has shown on their respective Instagram pages that they have a strong appreciation for fresh kicks. 

Solomons is a Nike athlete so naturally, his sneaker collection compromises of mainly Nike and Air Jordan. The ex-Swallows baller switches between Nike Dunks, Air Max and Air Jordan 1's.

Staple, classic and well respected Nike sneaker lines. His coolest pairs are the Air Jordan 1 'breds' which sell for over R13 000 on Stock X.

Lorch is a little bit more expansive with his brand choices. As a PUMA athlete, he does rock some of their waviest kicks but the Pirates star also has a taste for luxury. 

He styles in Gucci, Burberry and Valentino sneakers. A recent pair of Valentino's he wore cost over R16 000 at Farfetch: 

Both players take pride in the sneakers they wear and it's safe to say they have unreal taste when it comes to footwear. 

Lorch's may opt for more luxury choices but is still on a similar level to Solomons, who boasts some of Nike's most influential and iconic sneakers.
