PRPS

This is an article about a brand of clothing. For other meanings, see PRPS (disambiguation)

PRPS jeans are created by Akademiks, a New York-based clothing company founded in partnership by a former top Nike designer, Donwan Harrell. Donwan, being a denim fanatic, began the PRPS project, which is one of Donwan's biggest projects. The price of PRPS jeans begins at $250 a pair.

PRPS jeans are manufactured in Japan, unlike other jeans which are mostly manufactured in China. The Japanese manufacturer of the jeans uses Levi's looms from the 1960s. More modern looms are better, but these looms produce a stronger edge to the fabric.

Harrell says that the manufacturing process was inspired by denim worn by workers before it became popular as an everyday fashion. Harrell says that the production for one pair of jeans costs about $95.

Akademiks is also used in the UK, most noticeably in London where many wear this urban clothing.
