GALXBOY Opens New Flagship Store in Sandton

South African streetwear juggernaut GALXBOY is proud to announce the opening of its newest and most prestigious retail store in Sandton City, Johannesburg this Friday. This marks the 14th store nationwide, reinforcing GALXBOY’s dominant presence in African street fashion.

A Milestone in the GALXBOY Journey

The Sandton store launch represents more than just retail expansion—it’s a landmark moment in GALXBOY’s story. Situated in Africa’s wealthiest square mile, the new store highlights the brand’s transformation from an underground movement into a mainstream cultural force.

From Bold Slogans to a Fashion Empire

Founded in 2008 by visionary Thatiso Dube, GALXBOY was born from a rebellious idea—a T-shirt with attitude. It quickly evolved into a symbol of youth culture, blending global fashion cues with South African authenticity. Today, GALXBOY is worn by artists, influencers, and fashion-forward youth across the continent.

A Statement, Not Just a Store

The Sandton flagship is designed as a cultural destination—a place where fashion, identity, and ambition converge. “We’re not just opening another store in another mall,” says Thatiso Dube, GALXBOY’s founder and creative director. “We are creating a space that embodies who we are, in the heart of Joburg’s innovation and business scene.”

Where Culture Meets Commerce

With Sandton known for luxury, finance, and high-end retail, GALXBOY’s presence is a powerful fusion of street culture and commercial relevance. The store features a sleek, modern aesthetic and houses the full GALXBOY collection, including signature graphic tees, luxe hoodies, jewelry, and exclusive drops.
