The sale of Kwame Baah Brand footwear provides a living wage for all Ghanaian artisans which contributes to alleviating poverty in Ghana. George has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their new line of sneakers and hopes that the community will see the importance of his efforts and pledge money to help those less fortunate.

Buyers have the option to choose from all black or brown leather high or low cut or all kente (vegan) high or low cut. Each handcrafted sneaker has a double memory foam footbed designed for comfort that molds to fit the foot. The leather ones have hand braided upper which makes unique. The shoes are made for versatility, suitable for a casual outfit or more of a dressed-up look. The prices are also very affordable.
