Global casual footwear brand HEYDUDE has officially opened the doors to the brand-new HEYDUDE Sandton City store.
Known for ultra-lightweight shoes designed for all-day comfort, this launch consequently marks the brand’s biggest space in the country to date.
Located in one of South Africa’s most high-traffic retail corridors, the new outlet therefore cements a commitment to meeting a premium, style-driven consumer in the heart of Africa’s most influential shopping destination.
Sandton City remains the number one location for many leading brands, partly thanks to its superior shopper spending power and high-end guests.
Global concept at the HEYDUDE Sandton City store
More than just an address, the HEYDUDE Sandton City store introduces the brand’s latest global retail concept to South Africa.
Shoppers can expect a refreshed, modern look and feel, from clean finishes and bold graphics to immersive digital screens.
This visual storytelling, in doing so, brings the brand to life, built to move with you from one moment to the next.
Designed to be open, expressive and easy to explore, the space, as a result, reflects exactly what the brand stands for: comfort without compromise, style without effort, and shoes that fit into real life.
‘Opening our Sandton store is a major milestone for the brand in South Africa. Sandton City is the epicentre of premium retail in Africa, and for us it’s a must-have location to connect with a style-conscious local and continental audience.
We’re excited to be here, excited to grow and most of all excited to give South Africans a space where they can experience the comfort, versatility and feel-good attitude that HEYDUDE is all about.’

A Launch to Remember
The store’s arrival was celebrated on Thursday evening at a launch event bringing together influencers, media and fashion-forward guests.
A live DJ set kept the tempo high while friends of the brand explored the space, tried on fresh pairs, captured content and soaked up the atmosphere.
With snacks and drinks flowing, and the Skyline just outside, the evening felt like the perfect welcome—social, full of good energy and unmistakably cool.
The new store is open to the public across from Crocs on the Lower Level. For long-time fans and first-time visitors, this is your invitation to step into comfort, find your everyday favourite and experience the brand’s newest chapter in South Africa.
