PICS: Five times Thembinkosi Lorch gave us serious sneaker envy

South African football player Thembinkosi Lorch has made headlines over the last few months after it was revealed that he and actress Natasha Thahane were in a romantic relationship.

In September, it was confirmed by South African football coach Fadlu Davids that the 28-year-old football star would not be seen on the field for the rest of 2021 because of a shoulder injury he sustained while at home.

The star’s football career may be on hold, but he is still serving looks for his 549,000 followers on Instagram, and has recently shared a pair of sneakers from his impressive sneaker collection.

Here are five dope sneakers from Thembinkosi’s collection:

Gucci

He recently took to Instagram to post a series of pictures of himself wearing Gucci and Disney collaboration sneakers priced at $690 (R10,300).

He paired his Gucci sneakers with a pair of Gucci socks, which cost $195 ( R2,873). Both the shoes and the socks can be purchased directly from Gucci stores.

Dolce & Gabbana

The black Dolce & Gabbana stretch mesh sneakers Lorch wore in one of his Instagram posts are a part of the D&G collection that was released before the Sorrento collection.

The sneakers range from $738 (R10,856) to $1,400 (R20,523).
