After Patta, the Alife Rivington Club gets together with Warrior Footwear. Working on the Classic low top, Alife added a hand-painted upper and woven logo tag to the canvas sneaker. As such, no two sneakers are the same. A release is scheduled for this coming Saturday, August 13th, with each pair going for 50 USD.

Announced a couple of months ago, the new A.R.C. x Penfield Wind Breakers are now available at Alife stores around the globe as well as A.R.C. NYC. Here we give you a first look.
The wind breakers will be coming in overall three colorways – red, black and purple. The lining comes on all three jackets in red, which makes for a nice contrast. Also the jackets feature a large size tonal A.R.C. logo print on the front, which looks great. Also you find the A.R.C. logo on the zipper and on the inside tag. The Penfield logo appears just like on all their pieces on the chest.
The A.R.C. x Penfield Wind Breakers turned out really nice and will be a perfect companion in the rainy Fall days. The jacket is available at Alife stores as well as on Rivingtonclub.com and go for 110 USD.
Detailed images follow after the jump.

We continue to present you some exciting models out of the Adidas aZX range. Yesterday we presented to you the models in collaboration with WoodWood and Undefeated, today a first look at the Alife Rivington Club (ARC) and Dave’s Quality Meat (DQM) collaborations. ARC worked on the ZX 7000 and much like Undefeated they only worked with one color, but less bright. DQM worked on the ZX 90, and gave it an interesting look, mixing colors, materials and adding their logo to the back of the sneaker. Apparently the final ARC model will not look like the one shown here above. Via Hypebeast/SoleCollector.

LACOSTE has teamed up with New York’s Alife Rivington Club (A.R.C.) for a limited edition capsule collection of polos and tennis shoes. Images have been circulating for a while already, but now we can give you an exclusive and complete first look at this fascinating upcoming collaboration project. The world famous rare sneaker resource located on the Lower East Side at 158 Rivington Street was opened in 2001 by the ALIFE design studio. 

‘The Rivington Club is committed to brands that have a true athletic history’, says Arnaud Delecolle, ALIFE co-founder. ‘A.R.C.’s aesthetic involves classic sports imagery, heritage and tradition. This translates into bold color statements with highly visible and recognizable graphics. When given the opportunity to work on the classic LACOSTE polo shirt, we decided to apply this aesthetic to the garments. We stayed in line with our shop’s colour theme of black, red and purple and decided to increase the scale of the crocodile logo to a truly utilitarian size. The concept being if these shirts were worn on the field, all the graphic elements would serve their purpose of conveying information from a distance.’

A.R.C. also changed some of the shirt’s construction elements to reflect the sturdiness required on rugby jerseys, including the collar and placket system as well as the inside tape on the collars and side vents. There are two polos in two colours each: one features the red A.R.C logo opposing the crocodile on white and black/grey polos, while the other has the gold Rivington Club crest embroidered on the left breast on both red and black polos. All have the number 158 sewn on the back, a nod to their Rivington Street address.

For footwear, A.R.C. stayed with the sports uniform theme to tie in to the polo shirts. They proposed the Ardeur tennis shoe, which was the original LACOSTE performance tennis shoe dating from 1983, in solid colours of white, black, purple and red with the bold A.R.C. logo brandished on the heel. The uppers are tone-on-tone leather with piqué mesh side panels, while the authentic polyurethane mid and outsole provide cushioned comfort. The shoes incorporate A.R.C.’s signature red/black bias striped pattern on the tongue with a white LACOSTE logo, while the leather in-sole features a black/white print and A.R.C. logo.
Once again A.R.C. presents an impressive collaborative project and they managed to infuse their style and philosophy into Lacoste product, without the product loosing its very own Lacoste style and history.
The A.R.C. x Lacoste collection will be released in July at Rivington Club, Barney’s in NYC, Colette, Dover Street Market, 10 Corso Como and select Lacoste doors.
A.R.C. worked on 4 colorways of the Ardeur tennis shoe and matching 4 polo shirts. We present you the complete line-up after the jump.

Pictures of the Rivington Club x Asics Clerk Pack are already circulating since weeks. We are glad to give you a detailed look at the pack today.
Once again they worked on the Asics Gel Lyte III. The pack consists of two colorways – brown/white and grey/grey. On the side there is an ARC tag embroidered. The uppers come in a mix of premium suede and mesh.
Unlike many other collaborations these days, Rivington Club took a solid road this time and presents sneakers that are special, but at the same time classic. These are sneakers that you can buy today and still be into in a couple of years.
The Clerk Pack will be released at the Rivington Club in NYC in June.
Have a look at detailed images after the jump.

Windrunners are back. That we can say for certain, since a couple of months. Nike is releasing lots of them and you see them again on the street.
Alife Rivington Club has collaborated with Penfield on several jackets already, until now always on warmer down pieces for the winter. For the first time the two got together to work on a light weight summer jacket – the Tech Windrunner. It comes in a black and purple colorway with mesh lining. Also it features adjustable hem and hood, as well as a 2 zipped stash pocket. The jacket is definitely shower proof and comes with a large glossy Alife Rivington Club logo print on the front with a smaller Penfield logo on the chest.
Hanon will have them in stock in the first couple of weeks of May, so make sure to look out for these.
After the jump many more detailed images.

Penfield is getting stronger and stronger every season. Their own collection and especially their collaborations with Stussy, Maharishi and others have become favorites for many. Next in line to have worked with them is Alife NYC.
Penfield and Alife got together for a collaboration on the Penfield Walkabout down jacket. As usual Alife picked out a company to work with, that is best at creating outdoor gear and have added their own flair to the piece. The Penfield x Alife Walkabout jackets come in three colorways – black, purple and red. Actually to be precise the collaboration has been done with the Alife Rivington Club label (the Alife sneaker boutique), as indicated on the jacket’s chest label.
The jackets will find their way into premium boutiques around the globe in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes open. After the jump detailed pictures of all three jackets.
