Lacoste and Alife Rivington Club teamed up for a limited-edition capsule of short-sleeve shirts and tennis shoes. The combination of the two brands translates into bold color statements with highly visible and recognizable graphics. The shirts were executed in the Rivington Club's store color theme of black, red and purple and the scale of the crocodile logo has been increased to a truly utilitarian size. Driven by true sport heritage, the concept behind these shirts is if they were worn on the field, all the graphic elements would serve their purpose of conveying information from a distance.

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

The footwear stays with the sports uniform theme. The Ardeur tennis shoe is the original LACOSTE performance tennis shoe from 1983, executed in solid colours of white, black, purple and red with the 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 bias striped pattern on the tongue in red/black with a white LACOSTE logo, while the leather in-sole features a black/white print and A.R.C. logo.

The Lacoste A.R.C. capsule Lauches July 19th and will be available at the Alife Rivington Club shop in New York and in select Barneys doors in the US. Abroad, the capsule is available at Colette in Paris, Corso Como in Milan, Dover Street Market in London and in select Lacoste doors worldwide.
