Unlabelled for Superbalist | Fitspo - Hakim Malema

Updated: Nov 30, 2024


Hakim Malema is a multi-disciplinary artist who crosses over between music, visual art and has now added clothing design to his set of skills with his involvement in emerging fitness brand Method Mode.


Hakim’s daily pursuit is to achieve the highest level of human experience through the body by eating well, staying hydrated, exercising, training, and competing.


“I believe that the body is the arena of the unknown, and through it, the tapestry of life unfolds.”


A competitive sprinter throughout his school career, Hakim regularly participated in events such as the 100m, 200m, hurdles, long jump, and high jump.


“I’d always avoided longer distances until sneakers and the social running culture made them appealing to me. Since then, I’ve made some amazing friends through running, and building a team with others has been incredibly inspiring. I also found Eliud Kipchoge and Nike’s attempt to break the two-hour marathon barrier earlier this year extremely motivating.”
