FAQ’s
BRAND & PRODUCT
Your AKA'IKI is a location that holds a deep personal meaning to you, a place where you experienced a very special moment in time.
Choose your AKA'IKI using our website's intuitive online design tool. We will print the GPS coordinates of your special location on the left sleeve of your hoodie, in the colour of your choice.
What's the meaning of AKA'IKI ?
Yes. At this very early stage of our business, we exclusively focus on designing, crafting and bringing you some of the best and coolest hoodies you can find anywhere. Our premium hoodies come with a unique personalisation touch.
And there's more to our hoodies: check out our website and social media channels to discover the exciting features of our hoodies' NFC-enabled badges and our interactive community app.
Will we offer other types of clothing in the future? Absolutely, yes. But for now, we focus on perfecting the one garment that modern explorers cannot do without - the iconic hoodie.
Do you just sell hoodies?
BADGE
No. There is no geolocation software linked to AKA'IKI badges or garments. By tapping the badge you just connect to the unique url of your personal profile which is linked to the NFC chip in your badge.
Does the badge track me?
Just hold the top part of your smartphone very close, almost touching, to your badge. This will trigger the NFC (Near Field Communication) technology we are using.
Do not try to "scan" the badge with your camera - this won't work. Before tapping, please make sure that your smartphone's screen is not locked.
After tapping your badge, a notification ("NFC Chip Detected") will pop up on your phone. Just tap that notification to access your personal profile.
How exactly should I tap the badge with my smartphone to access my personal profile?
COMMUNITY APP
Our app is a browser-based "web-app" which cannot be downloaded from any of the popular app stores, such as Apple's App Store, Google' Play Store or Samsung's Galaxy Store.
Where can I download the App ?
By tapping the badge of your AKA'IKI hoodie.
How can I access the App ?
Yes, you can. In fact, we suggest you do that as this will allow you to return to the app without needing to tap your badge every single time.
