United States Patent Office · Pharoh Athletics, Inc.

The technology inside the
Aker P1 is protected by law.

Two filed patents. Over a decade of development. The energy-return pod system beneath every Aker P1 cannot be legally replicated by any other company. You are not buying a shoe — you are buying access to a protected technology.

When Mosimo Jones filed his first patent in 2013, no shoe company was building this system. Twelve years later, no one else has it. That is the competitive moat that every Founder Edition buyer is stepping into.
