Opened in 2001, the Alife Rivington Club was intended to be the Harvard Club of sneaker boutiques. The non-descript storefront, the ring-the-doorbell policy, and the large members-only insignia on floor as you walk does a good job of making you feel that you are actually in an exclusive club. The ARC has teamed up with Nike again to create another Tier Zero release; A modest looking dunk hi Supreme.
Although the shoe appears to be relatively plain it is constructed with a variety of advanced materials. The upper of the shoe features Cordura and Dynafil TS 70 which a newly developed ultra-strong polyamide backing fabric and resistant to friction, water, dirt and oil repellent. The collar under the leather lining and tongue are also made of those extreme materials with some add of fishing line to further strength the human ankle support.
The outstanding ARC logo is featured on the side heel and the Nike tag on the tongue is replaced by black and white stripes. The same design is also applied on the insoles. 0.44 sticky rubber is featured on the gum sole for better grip feels.
