The Story Behind the Creation
Boma High-Top Sneakers are born at the intersection of memory, art, and movement. A true manifesto creation of Maison Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï, they draw their energy from ancestral symbols and the contemporary pulse of Gabonese urban landscapes. A meeting between heritage and modernity, conceived as a living dialogue between cultures and time.
Their visual language reveals sculptural faces, ritual signs, and fragments of stories intertwined in a deep contrast of black and incandescent orange. Shades inspired by red earth, sunlight, and the invisible traces left by journeys, memories, and transmissions.
More than just a pair of sneakers, Boma is a work to be inhabited. A presence. An approach. A way to move through the world, carrying art with every step.

Style Tips
The Boma High-Top Sneakers are more than something to wear: they belong to a story. They express a vision of luxury where heritage meets the avant-garde, the street becomes a stage, and every step makes a distinctive impression.
Designed for those who move through life with intention, they accompany everyday rhythms while carrying traces of symbols, journeys and untold stories.
Urban Chic
Pair your Boma sneakers with straight-cut black trousers or light beige chinos and a relaxed linen shirt, slightly open at the collar. Add a structured jacket or textured leather to create a subtle conversation between clean lines and artistic intensity.
A silhouette for gallery openings, creative appointments and evenings when elegance needs no introduction.
Boma sneakers never need to shout. Their presence speaks for itself.
Relaxed & Sunlit
On bright days, choose sand- or ochre-coloured trousers, an oversized white T-shirt and an open shirt in earthy, fiery tones.
Free and instinctive: the spirit of those who create, observe and dream.
Here, comfort becomes a form of luxury.
Movement becomes a way of inhabiting space.
Monochrome & Artistic
For a timeless approach, wear black from head to toe: high-waisted trousers with a minimal shirt or an oversized jacket inspired by artists' studios.
Let the Boma sneakers' incandescent orange become the source of light in your silhouette.
An aesthetic that is both intellectual and instinctive, imagined for galleries, creative encounters and places where art moves freely.
The House Signature
Boma is worn like a quiet statement: the simpler the outfit, the more room there is for its story.
Choose restraint. Choose the right gesture. Choose intention.
For true luxury lies not in what is displayed, but in what each creation carries within it.
Manufacturing on Demand
Each pair of Boma High-Top Sneakers is born from a conscious choice: to create only when the desire exists.
No mass production, no unnecessary stock — only the expression of controlled luxury, respectful of time and resources.

At Elisabeth Akaïa Kaï , fashion is made with patience and intention.
Maintenance & Longevity
Boma High-Top Sneakers were designed to stand the test of time without losing their luster.
Their beauty is cultivated like a work of art: with care, gentleness and respect for the materials.
- Gentle hand cleaning : use a slightly damp cloth and neutral soap to preserve the prints.
- Avoid machine washing , tumble drying and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Allow to dry naturally in the open air , away from heat and humidity.
- For faux leather details , occasionally apply a colorless nourishing cream to maintain suppleness.
- Store them in their original box or in a breathable cotton cover to protect them from dust.
-
Alternate wearing them to allow the sole to breathe and prolong the natural lifespan of the product.
