THE MATERIALS

  • The BODY

    KENTE CLOTH

    We reimagine one of the world’s most iconic fabrics, Kente cloth, infusing it with a contemporary aesthetic. This traditional West African textile not only adds vibrant patterns and colors to our designs but also celebrates cultural heritage and craftsmanship.

  • THE INSOLE

    SECOND-HAND CLOTHING

    We transform second-hand clothes into comfortable, supportive insoles for shoes. Leveraging the same technology used for recycled textile insulation, we breathe new life into discarded garments, preventing them from languishing in landfills and polluting the environment.

  • THE OUTSOLE

    RECYCLED TIRES

    Embracing innovation and eco-conscious practices, we'll transform discarded tires into high-performance soles. The use of recycled tire soles offers unmatched durability and traction, ensuring stability and support with every stride.

THE MAKERS


We collaborate with local artisans to harness their craftsmanship and traditional techniques. This partnership not only supports local economies but also ensures each AIKI product is crafted with care and cultural integrity.
