Alife x Reebok Footwear Collection

Reebok Alife NYC Footwear CollectionAlife and Reebok have both experienced tremendous success with their ballsy set of Court Victory Pumps, but with no more colors of tennis balls left to do, the two have come together on a series of other great Reebok silhouettes.

The men’s series of shoes is composed of 3 colorups of the ERS 5000 with simple colorblocking of a solid color midsole/outsole. The women’s series features three silhouettes - each of a different grey tone color and splattered midsoles. The shoes in that lineup include the Ventilator, Pro Legacy Mid, and Freestyle Hi. At this point we don’t have any solid pricing or release details other than to expect them next month. We will keep you in the loop about this collection. Pics and info from Stil Laden / Hype Beast.

Rivington Club x Asics Gel Lyte III

Alife Rivington Club Asics Gel Lyte IIIThere is a first for everything as the Rivington Club Asics Gel Lyte III is the first sneaker collab that the shop has done. Last October saw the release of the Alife “Monster” Asics Gel Lyte IIIs that may be remembered as the first shoe to be permanently dressed in a Halloween costume. While the market didn’t take too well to those, I am sure a more positive outcome will happen for the Rivington Club collabs. To many, the Rivington Club was the first sneaker boutique in NYC. While that is often disputed, one can’t deny that it was the first of its kind with wood paneling and a luxurious build-out that has made it a sneaker landmark since it opened in 2001.

Though originally slated to release in May, they have been pushed back to release in June. Stay tuned for more updates on this release. Info thanks to Hype Beast.
