Alife Everybody Mid Lux Tweed
Alife
Profile
Description
Prominent street and skatewear brand Alife was founded in 1999 in New York, by four friends -- Arnaud Delecolle, Tony Arcabascio, Tammy Brainard and Rob Cristofaro. One of their main reasons in teaming up was to “fill a void of creativity in New York” at that time, and to share their niche, creative lifestyle with a broader audience. Originally a creative workshop based in Manhattan’s Orchard Street, Alife’s innovative designs and forward-thinking products propelled them into an internationally renowned streetwear clothing brand and boutique. The name of the brand came up from the idea of bringing an inanimate object to life, or infusing hype into a product. Alife has collaborated with other companies such as Nike, Reebok, adidas, New Balance, Saucony, Timberland, ASICS, Lacoste, Mitchell&Ness, Dickies, Kangol and more. Alife is also the operation behind A.R.C., a premiere sneaker boutique. Their motto: “THE SOURCE OF ART IS IN THE LIFE OF A PEOPLE.”

Alife has teamed up with PARRA/Rockwell Clothing and famous Dutch sneaker spot Patta to create the Everybody Mid Rap. Utilizing the flagship Everybody Mid, the sneaker is full of details from the perforated leather to clear soles. The collaboration effort also features a special box and t-shirt. Patta will see a release first on April 29th, while Alife stores around the world will have a chance to cop on May 3rd.
For the launch of the Rockwell x Alife x Patta “Rap” Everybody High sneakers, a cool little promotional video was created. The clip shows a neat animation of the shoes plus the release dates. The shoes will be releasing at Patta on April 29th and at Alife on May 3rd.
For those who missed our post about the shoes, you can check it out here.
Rockwell, Alife, and Patta all came together to design the Alife Everybody Mid “Rap”. The colorway of the shoe is very American, mainly blue with white sole and shoelaces and red accents. On the tongue, it writes out the name of all 3 brands, fitting together to form a rectangle. Overall, a very fresh shoe with a clever name and subtle details such as the different shades of blues and alternating colored shoelace holes. The shoe is set to be released on April 29th at Patta Amsterdam with the release party on the same night, and May 3rd at Alife NYC, Alife LA, and Alife Vancouver.

The New York brand Alife has updated their website with a picture of a Hersey like Alife Chocolate Bar. We don’t think Alife will actually be making their own Chocolate but this is an interesting design. Perhaps a preview of a future t-shirts? Gues we’ll have to wait and see.
