National, June 13, 2025: In an exciting and first-of-its-kind initiative in Indian aviation, Akasa Air, India’s fastest-growing airline, today launched SkyEaze; comfort-first sneakers designed and crafted exclusively by adidas for cabin crew and ground staff.
Having been the pioneer in introducing gender-neutral uniforms and sneakers since the airline started operations in 2022, Akasa Air continues to set benchmarks and strengthen its reputation as an innovative, youthful, and employee-centric airline with this latest initiative.
Where comfort meets style
