Kwaito is a uniquely South African variant of house music that emerged in Soweto, Johannesburg during the 1990s and is still very popular today.  

The word kwaito originated in the Gauteng townships. It comically borrows from the Afrikaans slang term ‘kwai’, which is similar to the English term ‘hot’. It was used to describe house tracks that were considered ‘kwai’, and now we’re using it to describe our super comfortable black soled Veldskoen sneakers.
