Alife
Alife is a New York streetwear label founded in 1999 by Rob Cristofaro, Tony Arcabascio, Tammy Brainard and Arnaud Delecolle as an art collective and retail space on the Lower East Side. It built its reputation on the Alife Rivington Club sneaker boutique, opened in 2001, and on sneaker collaborations with Nike, adidas, Reebok, Puma and Crocs. Cristofaro and partner Treis Hill bought the brand back with a new investor before closing the flagship in 2019. It now sells graphic tees, hoodies, caps and outerwear built around its bubble logo, mainly online.
