Reigning Champ Hits the Field for "Japan Indigo Series"
Reigning Champ refuses to strike out, consistently serving up solid sportswear-meets-streetwear capsules and collaborations. For its latest delivery, dubbed the "Japan Indigo Series" the Vancouver label is hitting the field to reimagine a lineup of vintage baseball jerseys in Japanese denim.
With New York City's oldest (and still in-the-game) stickball team, the Bronx Royals, fronting the on-location lookbook, Reigning Champ revamps the six-piece range in partnership with an esteemed denim manufacturer based in Japan's denim capital of Fukuyama, Hiroshima.
"From Hiroshima prefecture to a New York borough, our campaign and film give a glimpse of what goes down at the intersection of Seward Avenue and Stickball Boulevard," Reigning Champ elaborated in an Instagram caption. "This is a place where the game’s rich heritage is kept alive and well on the streets of the South Bronx."

Each piece in the release was crafted from start to finish – cut, sewn and dyed – on-site in Japan. The jerseys are dipped in top-tier cotton denim and amalgamate the branding of Reigning Champ with the 121-year-old New York Highlanders logo – the team that transpired into the modern-day New York Yankees.
