In my mind: This is Cloudnine...

Introducing to you an awesome South African clothing brand - Cloudnine Urbanwear. This brand is co owned by two young guys Tumelo aka Tukza and Mbuso aka TheeAlphaman, they started little using mainly facebook social media to get their brand out there doing deliveries around soweto for free and posting anywhere in South Africa. It all seems just like yesterday today you can place youroder online, pay and get it delivered to you injust a few days or just walk into their store and purchase what you like.
