Akomplice likes to give back and this is something that Patrick Liberty wanted to do for the community, as he wishes that something like this would have been an opportunity when he started the brand.

Who is Akomplice?
Mike and Patrick conceived Akomplice at the young ages of 18 and 20, respectively. Hailing from Colorado, without any industry-specific education, the two brothers embarked on their first collection with nine of their initial thirteen designs. Fast-forward ten years, and Akomplice is a pillar within the street-wear industry, while still preserving the curiosity and passion from day one. Akomplice boasts collaborations with iconic figures and media outlets including the Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon, ASICS, Fred Segal, Joey Bada$$, Ride Snowboards, MF Doom, J Dilla, Sneaker Freaker, Frank 151, and Vernon Davis of the 49er’s. Mike and Patrick have also been commissioned for design work by Nike’s lifestyle arm, Nike Sportswear, on multiple occasions.
Akomplice is currently sold in over 33 countries and carried in over 250 stores across the globe. The brothers have created thought provoking graphics and calculated material choices that continue to gain sophistication with each season. Though they’ve enjoyed swift and strategic growth, Mike and Patrick have maintained the company ethos “evolution through innovation” with each collaboration and in every garment produced.
