We put the Aker P1 prototype in front of athletes, collectors, and performance enthusiasts. Not one person was indifferent. Here is what they said.
The Aker P1 prototype was tested by athletes across running, court sports, and training environments. Every tester experienced the same thing — a shoe that performs at an elite level and looks like nothing else in the room.
"I've worn performance shoes my entire career. The Aker P1 is the first one I've ever put on and immediately thought — this is the one."
"I collect sneakers. I've spent thousands on limited editions. Nothing in my collection looks or performs like the P1. This is the grail for people who actually play."
"The energy return is real. I could feel the difference by mile two. And I've never worn a shoe that made people stop and ask what I had on — until now."
"The black and gold alone makes a statement. But what's underneath it — the technology — is what made me reserve immediately. This shoe earns everything it looks like."
"I've been following Pharoh since the beginning. When I finally had the prototype on my feet, I understood why Mosimo spent twelve years on this. It was worth every one of them."
"The luxury market has been waiting for a performance shoe that doesn't apologize for its price. The Aker P1 doesn't apologize. It justifies."
"The first 323 people who believe in Pharoh before the world does — they are not customers. They are the origin story of something much bigger than a shoe."
The Founder Edition closes permanently on July 4, 2026 — or when pair 323 is reserved, whichever comes first. After that date, the $1,999.99 Founder price, the numbered certificate, and early access benefits close forever. The retail price is $4,499.99.
Estimated production and shipping window is Q4 2026. All Founder Edition backers will receive monthly production updates via email and SMS. You will have a dedicated size confirmation step before manufacturing begins so nothing is locked in without your approval.
Full refunds are available within 30 days of your preorder. After that window, refunds remain available up until production begins. We will always communicate clearly before any non-refundable milestone is reached. We earn your trust before we earn your commitment.
Yes. The $499.99 reservation deposit is fully applied toward your Founder preorder price of $1,999.99. The remaining $1,500.00 balance is collected when production is confirmed — not before. You are not paying $1,999.99 today.
Your Founder Edition Aker P1 includes a sequentially numbered certificate (#001–323), early access to all future Pharoh releases, private monthly production updates directly from the founder, and permanent recognition as an original Pharoh Founder. Your number is yours permanently.
The Founder Edition is available in US Men's sizes 7 through 14. You will select your size during checkout and will have an opportunity to confirm or adjust your size selection before production begins. No pair goes into manufacturing without your confirmation.
The Founder price exists to reward the people who believed in Pharoh before the world did. It is $2,500 below retail — a permanent benefit that closes when this run sells or July 4th arrives. After that, the price reflects the full retail value of a patented luxury performance sneaker that no other company can legally replicate.
