Known for sports and streetwear, Vancouver-based Reigning Champ unites with Prince, an American sporting goods manufacturing company based in Atlanta, Georgia for a tennis capsule collection.
The collection channels the mid-80s and 90s era of tennis look, representing the legacy of the sport’s rich history. It refreshes the classic team colours, varsity traditions and collegiate-rooted styles. The capsule includes a varsity jacket, terry cardigan, lightweight jersey T-shirt, mid-weight long-sleeve jersey tee, 6” twill stretch shorts, a racquet, a water bottle and a headband/sweatband set. The pieces are washed in navy and creme shades and include co-branded graphics.
The new Reigning Champ x Prince tennis capsule is available now in-store and online. The highlights of the collection are the Prince Woll Varsity jacket and limited-edition Original Graphite 107 Racquet & Case, suited for both on and off the court.
According to Prince, “Given Prince’s origins in New Jersey and a great history of players from the tri-state area, we elected to highlight the antithesis of country club tennis, celebrating the public court grinders at Washington Market Park in Tribeca.”
“We accompany Vicente Muñoz and James Powers, former D1 collegiate athletes, as they take to the court in select styles from the collection, captured under the bright lights against a quintessential New York City backdrop.”
