soleRebels shoes can be bought in Addis Ababa at Adams Pavillion – 2nd floor, right above Kaldi’s.
Their product line is very trendy and no doubt will have a significant impact in their market share in Taiwan's emerging hip and dynamic market from the youth. They even hired local business management consulting for further market integration.
