Staff Picks: Koki
We continue our monthly staff highlight this week with the contemporary style king Koki from our JHB flagship store. Read the interview now to find out his picks, what's being slept on, what Koki isn't feeling right now and more.
What did you choose for your staff pick and why?
For my staff pick I chose the following:
1) Levi's 550 92' relaxed taper
2) Nike Terminators
3) Carhartt Hamilton Brown Long Sleeve Madison Cord Shirt
4) SL S22 Dripper Tee White & Blue
5) White Nike bucket hat
How long have you been at Shelflife?
I've been at Shelflife for 3 years 11 months.
Top 3 brands? Doesn’t have to be stocked at SL.
Indigo Fera jeans, adidas ZX range, Carhartt WIP.
Biggest sleeper on shelf right now?
Artist you’re enjoying at the moment?
Anything from Stay True Sounds.
A trend in streetwear you aren’t feeling?
Jordan 1 Highs and Nike Dunk Lows.
If you owned Shelflife for a day, what would you change?
If I owned Shelflife for a day I wouldn't change anything at this point given the cultural programs that have been introduced and the communication lines available from floor staff to buying team and brand management at head office level. The culture of Team Only and how it manifests is nothing experienced at any other retail store.
Favourite item to ever release through Shelflife doors?
Shelflife x adidas Consortium ZX 4000, still wishing I get a uk6 somewhere one day hahaha.
Biggest misconception about working at Shelflife?
The biggest misconception about working at Shelflife is that it might all be about being the coolest retail sales assistant, there's actually a lot of work to do within the store.
