It’s Dunk-like design plays a significant role in pretty much every major pack ALIFE releases, but here’s an instance where the Everybody is everything for Rivington Street’s finest. The Basic Collection brings you five pairs of ALIFE Everybodys split between the low, mid and hightop cuts, and all with white stitching plus vulcanized soles instead of the traditional cup. Two each of the low and highs put the lone middle child in its place, and you’ll see all of them in more images by clicking on the jump below. Let us know if these tickle your fancy or if you’d rather just go ahead and buy a pair of Dunks from Nike, and look for these now at select ALIFE retailers. via Hayabusa.

When it comes to independent labels doing their thing in the footwear game, few names carry the weight of ALIFE. Longtime curators of the sneaker culture in the NYC area, the ALIFE team has been going hard with their in house collections and the Fall 2011 season is no exception. The drop spans a nice range of styles, with their ubiquitous Dunk tribute the Everybody High showing off some premium materials, and the group of lowtops rounding out the lifestyle look. Follows us after the jump for a full look at each sneaker from the Fall 2011 collection and get them now at any of the Alife flagships.

Like several other long lost brands of yore, Warrior Footwear was resurrected in recent years, a rebirth long overdue with brands like Feiyue having copied their classic look while the brand was gone. But just like any other brand looking to generate some buzz in the streets, Warrior went out and hooked up with one of the United States’ hottest boutiques, namely New York’s ALIFE. The A.R.C. x Warrior Footwear collection brings ‘the Chuck Taylor of China’ back to the US with a white canvas upper, woodgrain vulc-soled design that’s hand painted to ensure no two are alike. They feature A.R.C. branding on the heel, insole and packaging and will retail for the relatively tiny price of $50. Sounds like an amazing deal for what is in some sense a 1 of 1, and you can see more of what you’ll be getting by clicking on the jump below.

New York boutique ALIFE is back with its in-house offerings for a summer 2011 collection of lifestyle sneakers that are as calm as any set they’ve ever released. Familiar models like the Chuck, Everybody and Public absent almost all of the flashy branding and crazy details that have increasingly served as the brand’s visual identity (until now). It’s an abrupt shift in the overall feel of the collection that makes these simple colorways feel so fresh, so click through to see more and look for these at select ALIFE retailers now. via FNG

ALIFE built their footwear collection by reinterpreting classic sneaker and casual shoe designs over the years, this latest a playful spin on both. The ALIFE Chuck Native is pictured above in two new colorways, each of which features a wacky zig-zag ‘frame’ on its side panels. This piece is done in the same suede as their toes, while the remainder comes in with a contrasting canvas shade. Pairs in teal/beige and sand/purple switch their bright/balance blocking pattern while both add a teal heel section to the sole. Click through to see more photos of both pairs and expect them at select ALIFE retailers here in the states soon; Korea’s Kasina just got theirs.

New York’s ALIFE was one of the first boutiques to offer its own sneaker lineup and one that’s stood the test of time was probably not coincidentally an established silhouette. The ALIFE Everybody borrows heavily from Nike’s Dunk vamp and adds a chunkier cup sole, this ‘Official Pack’ setting itself apart with prominent ‘a’ branding on the side panels of a canvas design with suede on the ankle collar. Each pair features the same golden brown suede section, which looks quite different on white, tan and royal blue pairs, all of which should be available in the states shortly as they just dropped at Japan’s FLAUGE.

It’s been a while since we’ve detailed a new collection of footwear from ALIFE here on Sneaker News, but this spring 2011 collection simply demands attention. Let’s start off with the familiar models including the Dunk-like ALIFE Everybody in Low Suede, Mid Parachute and High ‘Official’ looks covering a variety of muted tones. There are high and low versions of the Chuck Indoor plus an outrageous version of the high Naval variant called ‘Posted’ for obvious reasons. The Northeastern is a new Oxford-style lowtop, the Moc takes the classic boat shoe design down to a zero-eyelet look and perhaps the star of this collection offers a mix of those two’s features, the hand-sewn, Vibram-soled Lincoln moccasin. It’s quite a run and you can see photos of selected colorways of each model when you click on the jump below, then look for these at select ALIFE retailers.

“If you like to gamble, I’ll tell you,” this is your shoe! Taking a page from the mighty Lemmy, here’s a tribute to the ace of spades from the boys on Rivington Street, a new ALIFE Everybody Hi Card ‘Hidden Champion’. These joints come in the black and red you might expect from a playing card deck, but aside from the heel insignias, the key design element is something you might have expected to hear from Jon Racener mutter after being crushed by Jonathan Duhamel’s massive chip lead in the recently concluded 2010 WSOP Main Event. Click the jump below to read the hidden message and look for these at ALIFE retailers soon; they just hit Japan’s FLAUGE.
