Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu, the founder of the shoe company
‘Solerebels,’
says her motivation stems from an attempt to blend the talents of her Ethiopian group’s creative smith with the traditional barabasso (Ethiopian reclaim tire) shoe.
However, the result of this process is original footwear driven by the ethics of ethical production, sustainable materials, and maximum comfort. The brand is the producer of the world’s first handmade runners.
Sole Rebels is committed to using sustainable materials for shoe production, further designing and engineering their products for maximum performance, comfort, and style.
The brand offers a range of footwear, from slip-ons to sneakers and runners, as they continue to redefine what footwear could be while also uplifting the lives of people in communities that deploy their talents into the company. It also offers a collection of both male and female footwear.
