"FacebookPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookPinterest\n\nTodd Snyder's collaboration with Champion Sportswear sought to combine a nostalgic, athletic vibe associated with the fleece sweatshirts and sweatpants of yore, with modern fits and details. That same spirit inspires the new Todd Snyder + Champion pop-up shop in New York City's bustling NoLIta district, already a hotbed for similarly-minded brands that meld old-school cool with contemporary appeal.\n\nChampion's Chief Design Officer Ned Munroe, Todd Snyder, and creative company ACRE built a space that not only lets the impressive collaboration pieces speak for themselves, but balances the feel of a dingy men's locker room with the worn-in vibe of a longstanding, members only health club. Dubbed the \"City Gym,\" the interior of the shop combines reclaimed industrial furniture from ABC Carpet &amp;amp; Home, black-and-white photos featuring sportsmen of yore, rusted lockers emblazoned with the names of people involved with the shop and collection, and even finds space for goods like Faribault blankets, Shinola bikes, and upscale sporting goods from Leather Head\u2014the custom-colored Hoosier Bats are also worth checking out, and maybe even taking home. Much of the curios and furniture on display isn't just for show\u2014it's also for sale.\n\nWhile the shop officially opens tomorrow, November 2, we got an early look. So far, they plan on staying in the Elizabeth Street location until March, but if the impressive store layout and awesome products within are any indication, it might behoove both Todd Snyder and Champion to consider something a bit more permanent in the future.\n\nTodd Snyder x Champion \"City Gym\" Pop-Up Shop\n\nWHERE: 242 Elizabeth St., New York\n\nHOURS: Monday-Saturday 11-7; Sunday 12-6"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
