MAVAZY PODCAST | EPISODE 12 | DONTIRES & MAMBAS - THE NEW KENYAN TRENDS ft GEORGE OTIENO (AKALA 21)

DONTIRES and MAMBAS are everywhere — but where did this culture come from, and why has the traditional Kenyan tyre sandal found a new life in modern fashion? In Episode 12, we sit down with George Otieno of Akala 21 to unpack the story behind the Akala, its roots in Kenyan resourcefulness, and how Akala 21 is transforming discarded tyres and leather offcuts into contemporary footwear and accessories. We talk fashion, culture, sustainability, streetwear, business and the changing identity of Kenyan style. From WASTED TYRES to CLASSY SHOES this is more than a trend. It's culture being reimagined. #MAVAZY #MavazyPodcast #Akala21 #GeorgeOtieno #DONTIRE #mamba #mambamentality #baddies #kenyanfashion #africanfashion #kenyanculture #nairobifashion #sustainablefashion #madeinkenya #streetwear #fashion #style #ootd #shorts #viral #streetstyle #fashioninspo #fashioninspodaily #publicity254
