About

The Birth of Yike Apparel Clothing Line was founded by Milan "OC" Blakely Sr.

I wanted to inspire others is why I started this Yike Apparel clothing line. Being influential comes with the responsibility of having leadership skills, Confidence, Boldness and Ambition in order to soar in life. Yike is all about envisioning innovative ideas in your mind and having the motivation to strive at all cost to make your dreams come to fruition. My Yike dreams started back in 2013 when I heard the word (YIKES) on a television commercial. After hearing and pondering on the word for a while I decided to drop the "S" off of YIKES and make the word (YIKE) an acronym. (Y.I.K.E) Young-Innovative-Knowledgeable-Entrepreneurs. Next, I wanted to people to feel motivated through the word (YIKE), so I created another word called (YIKING) to ignite the brain encouraging people to become PROACTIVE through action. (YIKING) puts people in a frame of mind that they can overcome any obstacle in life by having an ambitious mindset. If you've just been to a higher position at your job you can consider yourself as (YIKING). If you've just graduated form college, you're (YIKING). If you've just scored a touchdown at a football game you're (YIKING). If you purchased a new car, you're (YIKING). Whatever you're doing in life period that you're excelling in ("You're YIKING"). This brand is all about removing the fear from people lives to help them become the best successor that they can be. You'll be surprised what a few words can do to help you drive forward in life. I figured I can encourage people all across the world by hearing my story and letting people know that they can do anything that they put their minds to by being PROACTIVE, and being the best (YIKER) that they can be!

Sincerely
CEO
