SPAR Women’s Challenge 2025

At Mikado, we believe in purpose-driven performance. This year marks our second Spar Women’s Challenge in Tshwane partnership, which was hugely successful as an event and was very rewarding to participate in. We are also proud to collaborate for the very first time with the Spar Women’s Challenge in Jozi —a race that celebrates women’s strength while raising funds for causes that make a lasting difference.

Mikado will be selling the popular custom Twenty20Thrive commemorative Socks and Arm Protectors at the Jozi Women’s challenge, where R30 from every item sold will be donated towards the fundraising efforts of the race, which support impactful organisations for women —including Komani, a project of The Umtshayelo Foundation (TUF) (SPAR Women’s Challenge Jozi beneficiary) and the Basadi Ba Moshito (BBM) Foundation (SPAR Women’ Challenge Tshwane beneficiary)

WHAT IS DENIER?

In stockings and tights, denier (D) is a unit of measurement that indicates the thickness and weight of the yarn used to make the hosiery.

5-20D: ULTRA-SHEER
Extremely thin, transparent, and creates a “barely-there” or airbrushed effect. They will clearly show your skin underneath. Perfect for special occasions, summer fashion or achieving that ‘barely-there’ look.

20-30D: SHEER
Offers a light veil of colour or a “nude makeup” effect while still allowing your skin tone to show through. A perfect balance between transparency, smoothing and strength.

30-50D: SEMI-OPAQUE
Sits perfectly in the middle with a matte finish. Suitable for colder months, school, everyday wear and more durability. Almost complete coverage with a hit of skin underneath.

50-100D: OPAQUE
Thick, solid, and fully covers the skin. High denier tights give a deep, rich colour and have a matte finish. Ideal for colder months and when you need complete coverage.
