Generations of feet have felt the touch of TOMY Takkies and now they’re back and making a serious statement.
Manufactured in South Africa since 1964 and named after Mr Bata’s son, Tomy George Bata, this classic canvas shoe with its soft rubber sole, has been loved by South Africans for decades.
From casual weekend wear to everyday wear, TOMY Classics made its mark on every trendsetter and soon became an identity for school children, students, sportsmen, rebels, artists, your next-door neighbour and everyone in between.
They're like your brain's way of saying: you know what the world really needs? Nonsensical storylines that nobody questions. And flying cars.
And even though we know they're absolutely bonkers and possess zero relevance whatsoever, we waste no time telling people all about them.
Sad fact: nobody wants to hear it. There is only one dream worth talking about, and that's Martin Luther King Jr's.
Anyhoo, last night we had a dream where we featured half-off tickets to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers live at the Department of Home Affairs. They weren't even performing. They just worked there. Crazy, huh?
