Description

The archive Los Angeles Lakers look, light enough to live in, sturdy enough to keep.

It gets worn the way a favourite shirt gets worn: pulled on for the game, left on long after the whistle. The Purple does the shouting, and Magic Johnson’s lettering does the introducing. Recycled polyester with a wicking finish: drier than cotton, quicker to dry, easier to keep looking new.

The V-neck is taped flat and label-free, so it disappears under a jacket as easily as it works on its own. V-neck, taped and tagless: nothing to itch, nothing to cut out. Between the colour, the cut and the lettering, it covers casual Fridays and playoff nights equally well. Between this and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers range, the palette is consistent enough to mix without thinking. It packs down small, which makes it an easy one to take to an away game.
