What's the story?
It's no secret that footballers are big fans of sneakers. Kicks not only form a part of their off-pitch uniforms but also work as alternative footwear options to boots and slides/slops.
When it comes to Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs' stars, players such as Dillan Solomons, Kermit Erasmus, Edmilson Dove and Thembinkosi Lorch go above and beyond for their kick game.

Dillan Solomons has a remarkable collection of Nike kicks, ranging from the Blazers, to the Air Max and the iconic Air Jordan 1's, while Dove has a range of Nike Air Force 1 colourways that go perfectly with his well-styled outfits.
The Buccaneers also have a good group of stylish stars, with Thembinkosi Lorch and Kermit Erasmus sticking out for their top class kick game.
The duo tend to switch between prominent brands for their sneaker choices. Erasmus has been seen with Air Jordan 4's, the adidas Yeezy wave runners and in the past, the Nike Air Force 1's.
Lorch has quite the appetite for luxury sneakers. Kicks from brands such as Valentino, Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana. The PUMA athlete also rocks the sportswear brand's Slipstream sneakers and other notable silhouettes.
