The Aquila African print men's slip-on canvas shoe by ASAKE-OGE is a laceless Ankara print sneaker featuring a 100% polyester canvas upper with elastic side accents, an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) rubber outsole, a soft removable insole, padded collar and tongue, and breathable lining; available in US men's sizes 5 through 13 at $85.
About the Aquila
The Aquila is built for the man who does not want to compromise between ease and identity. The slip-on construction means no laces, no fuss: slide in, step out, and let the Ankara print announce your presence before you say a word. The canvas upper is 100% polyester, printed with an all-over African print graphic that is non-fade and colour-fast wash after wash. Elastic side accents give the shoe its signature laceless silhouette while keeping the fit secure across the foot. The EVA rubber outsole provides cushioning and grip on all everyday surfaces, and the removable insole allows you to swap in custom orthotics for personalised support. The padded collar and tongue add comfort at the ankle, making this a shoe you can wear for hours without noticing.

How to Style These African Print Slip-On Shoes
For a casual weekend look: pair the Aquila with straight-leg chinos or linen trousers and a solid crew-neck tee. The Ankara print on the shoe is the statement; keep everything else neutral and let the footwear lead. Explore the ASAKE-OGE men's African print tees for clean, complementary tops.
For a smart-casual occasion: style with tailored dark trousers and a crisp linen shirt. The slip-on silhouette reads refined while the print keeps it culturally rooted, making it appropriate for outdoor events, gallery openings, or relaxed Friday dinners.
For a full African print coordination: pair with African print men's athletic shorts for a head-to-toe Ankara moment that works for summer outings, cultural festivals, and Juneteenth celebrations. This is your cross-sell recommendation: the Rekiana Solar African print athletic shorts complement the Aquila's print energy and complete the look effortlessly.
About African Print Canvas Shoes
Canvas slip-ons have long been a wardrobe staple. The Aquila takes that staple and reframes it through an Afrocentric lens: an everyday silhouette carrying the graphic tradition of West African Ankara wax print fabric. The result is a shoe that sits as naturally in diaspora wardrobes as it does on cultural runways. ASAKE-OGE has applied its three-generation design philosophy to every element of the Aquila, from the print selection to the construction details, making this more than a casual shoe; it is a cultural expression you slip into every day.
