Rugged Technical Sportswear

Livestock Joined adidas Consortium and Arc'teryx on a New Capsule

— September 20, 2018 — Lifestyle
Livestock worked in collaboration with adidas Consortium and Arc'teryx on a new collection of rugged technical sportswear. This is a milestone partnership as it marks 10 years since its first collaboration back in 2008. The latest drop sees two weather-sturdy sneaker silhouettes -- the Ultra Tech GTX and the Terrex Skychaser. Both models boast GORE-TEX sensibilities and highlight a bright yellow color. The yellow hue hits the entire upper of the Ultra Tech GTX sneaker as opposed to the more muted gray Terrex Skychaser. However, the Terrex Skychaser still sees some yellow touches through its pull tab, insole and branding details.

To complement the footwear options, there's a selection of Arc'teryx pieces, including refreshingly new Atric Pants with adidas, the Alpha SL Pullover and the Maka 2 hip bag. The selection of items helps to prepare for any outdoor adventure and terrain that comes with it.
