GalxBoy Lands in Sandton with Flagship Store Launch

Retail 19 May 2025

South African streetwear label GalxBoy opened its latest flagship store in Sandton, Johannesburg, on Friday, 16 May 2025 a bold step in the brand’s rapid rise and cultural influence.

The Sandton launch marks GalxBoy’s 14th store nationwide, reinforcing its position as a major player in African street fashion.

Located in the heart of the country’s economic hub, the new store brings the brand even closer to the pulse of the continent’s fashion scene.

Born from a rebellious spirit and deeply rooted in youth culture, GalxBoy has become a defining voice in South African street style. Since its founding in 2008 by fashion visionary Thatiso Dube, the brand has grown from an underground statement into a celebrated label that blends global trends with local identity.

What started as a bold slogan on a T-shirt has evolved into a full-fledged lifestyle brand, embraced by artists, influencers, and style-conscious youth across the continent and beyond.

The launch of the Sandton store is more than just an expansion of the brand, it's a statement. Strategically located in one of Africa’s most affluent and fashion-forward districts, this new flagship store is a celebration of GalxBoy’s journey from street-level hustle to mainstream recognition.

Designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic that mirrors the brand’s bold attitude and creativity, the store will offer the full range of GalxBoy's signature collections from edgy graphic tees and luxe hoodies to accessories, jewellery and limited-edition drops.

"Opening in the financial capital of South Africa is huge for the brand and our journey thus far," says Thatiso Dube, founder and creative director of GalxBoy.

"We’re not just opening another store in another mall, we are creating a cultural destination, a space where fashion, identity and even ambition all collide. GalxBoy has always stood for owning your truth, and what better place to embody that than the heart of Joburg’s innovation and business scene, Sandton."
