Akademiks

Akademiks has gained popularity in the fashion industry due to the number of celebrities who wear the brand's PRPS jeans. On November 1, 2004, Audiovox sold their cell phone subsidiary Audiovox Communications Corp to UTStarcom. Although MTA officials had not originally realised that there was any double meaning in this phrase, it was later pointed out that "get brain" was in fact a slang term for "receive oral sex" along the lines of "get head". Products include car audio, home audio, and home electronics. In 2004, the label achieved a degree of notoriety when its advertisements on New York MTA buses, which included the tagline "Read Books, Get Brain", were banned. They operate under the brands Audiovox, Jensen, and Advent. The label was founded in partnership by two brothers, Donwan and Emmett Harrell. Audiovox NASDAQ: VOXX is an electronics company.

Akademiks (an intentional misspelling of "academics") is an American brand of urban clothing popular with devotees of hip hop music.
