The Return of a Classic: Phoenix Admiralty Grey NATO Strap Handmade in the UK by Mike Steward, Est. 1979
We’re proud to announce the limited re-release of our most requested colourway, Admiralty Grey, crafted by none other than Mike Steward, founder of Phoenix Straps and a master of his craft since 1979.
With Mike now officially retired, he has generously agreed to produce a small batch of straps exclusively for AKIO. This is a rare opportunity, and we’re not sure how long it will continue. Once this run is gone, it may not return.
Each strap is handmade in the UK by Mike himself, using UK-woven military-grade nylon sourced from traditional textile mills. These are not mass-produced or outsourced: no shortcuts, no compromises. This is true British manufacturing at its best.
We’re thrilled to bring this iconic product back for both long-time fans and new customers. If you’ve been waiting for the real thing, this is it.
