A separate sportswear-oriented line launched by Akris in 1995 to broaden its reach. On the official website, it is listed alongside Akris under Ready-to-Wear and is operated separately from foundational collections such as Akris Wardrobe Essentials. In contrast to the main Akris line, it serves as an outlet for everyday wear incorporating patterns and mix-and-match styling, and offers a different entry point within Ready-to-Wear. It is positioned within the brand as a complementary offshoot line.
