American Vintage released a second drop of its Sports Club sportswear line on October 25, organized into Studio, Terrain, and Ville themes. The release also includes two exclusive Nalgene water bottle designs.
Why it matters
The drop extends the brand's push into activewear that moves from training to everyday wear. The Nalgene collaboration adds a functional accessory tied to the collection's sustainability-minded materials.
The Nalgene water bottles are made with 50% recycled content and are ISCC-certified, in deep green and purple colorways. American Vintage's 2024 revenue of almost 200 million euros rose around 20% from the prior year.

Culture Shift
The release reflects a broader movement of heritage apparel labels moving into technical sportswear, blending athletic function with everyday style. Sports Club's three-tier structure mirrors how activewear has increasingly been designed for both workouts and daily wear.
The Nalgene collaboration gives shoppers a recycled-content water bottle that pairs with the drop's training and everyday pieces. Buyers can choose between the two exclusive colorways when planning their workout gear.
The takeaway
Activewear is increasingly judged on whether it works both in the gym and on the street. Shoppers building a wardrobe can look for pieces that cross between those settings.
