Alife x Lacoste Polo by Ami Kealoha
by Ariston Anderson
Are there ever days when you want to roll in to work on your skateboard but still have to look somewhat presentable? Well, the latest collaboration between purveyor of all things sneaker, Alife, and French sportswear mogul, Lacoste, is a polo shirt that is the perfect combination of preppy and punk. Featuring the largest alligator ever to grace a (legitimate) Lacoste shirt, and the number "158" across the back, the address of the Lower East Side Alife store, this shirt is sure to fulfill your inner brand whore while still maintaining some street cred.
The shirts sell for $175 and are available at Alife Rivington Club or through their online store.

A.R.C. Sports Store
Of streetwear pioneer Alife's many 2008 accomplishments—which include fresh collaborations (see their Lacoste Polos and the Parra x Patta sneaker for a couple of our favorites) and stores opening in Tokyo and Los Angeles—what might be the most significant for the seven-year-old brand is the introduction of their new NYC retail location, the A.R.C.

Context x Kicking Mule 1980 Hand Dye Jeans
An exclusive first look, Context drops another collabo today, this time with Kicking Mule Workshop for an ultra limited-edition pair of denim pants. A small production of only 50 pairs worldwide, the shuttle-loomed denim leaves a clean white selvage line—but the dying process is what really sets them apart.

Acronym Etaproof Tec Sys Shorts
