ENZI is a premium footwear brand that is part of a new narrative of African creativity, craftsmanship and enterprise. Designed, sourced and crafted by hand in East Africa, ENZI is at the leading edge of a new movement of urban-oriented, globally-minded African designers and entrepreneurs.
THE STORY
ENZI began as a dream shared by friends in a high school in Kenya. Growing up there were no African brands to reflect the aesthetic and aspirations of a new generation of young Africans. What if they could create a brand that would reflect the rising hopes of a rising Africa.
Years later, after countless hours and iterations, after frustrations and mistakes, an in-house manufacturing process was refined and the dream became reality. New styles continue to be developed, but the values remain consistent: reflect the best in design and manufacturing, and lead in responsibility to workers and to the environment.
ENZI is not just a story about a brand, ENZI is the story of a rising Africa. From concept to delivery, ENZI reflects the ambitions of many young Africans determined to see their creativity, ingenuity and industry recognized and enjoyed around the world.

THE SHOES
Hand-selected raw materials and superior craftsmanship combine to create a style that is wearable everyday, everywhere. Clean, urban lines and highland leathers meet in a shoe that is refined, comfortable and versatile.
Every shoe is hand-made at ENZI’s workshop by artisans who are proud of their craft, proud of their product and proud of the ENZI brand.
OUR PARTNERS
Our customers are our partners: partners in elevating the perceptions and possibilities of African brands; partners in setting higher standards for accountability and responsibility in enterprise; partners in the story of a new and rising Africa.
When you wear the shoe, you own a part of the story.
