The brand that has built itself on making some of the best basics or, “essentials,” as they’re known in the industry, just dropped two new collections that we cant wait to get our hands on.
The first, a colloboration with legendary running brand Asics, is actually the first of four releases the two labels will launch together in the lead up to the 2020 Olympics.
The Kyoto Edition includes an elevated tracksuit, a pair of graphic t-shirts with side gusset detailing inspired by Japanese decorative Sashiko stitch technique and a retro-inspired ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 5 OG.
The second drop, a non-collab release “inspired by basketball’s transformation into a global game,” titled the Legacy Pack, introduces a range of Lightweight Terry essentials in Blue and Ash, including new short sleeves, pullovers and sweatpants with contrast paneling.
Check ’em out below.
Reigning Champ x ASICS Kyoto Edition
From reigningchamp.com,
“The Reigning Champ x ASICS Kyoto Edition is the first of four releases and offers a considered collection designed with purpose and built without compromise. Steeped in tradition and craftsmanship, the culture-rich city of Kyoto, Japan provides the backdrop for tried-and-true performance products alongside a collection of everyday athletic wear. Apparel and footwear design cues from this inaugural release have been informed by textile patterns and the weathered, wooden patina found throughout Kyoto.”
Legacy Pack
“Highlights include our best-selling Team Series in a limited Blue colourway, game-ready Tech Mesh basketball jerseys, and classic Midweight Terry staples available in relaxed fits for the first time.”
