Mikaël Akira is a passionate skateboarder who found out in 1985, thanks to a friend, the existence of a new sport : snowboarding. In 1992, he has the opportunity to launch his own brand, specific to snowboarding, and more particularly in snowboard's technical wear. What was the idea ? Offering high-end products which were also innovative and fashionable.

Nowadays, the 686 line contains technical wear, streetwear and accessories.
