With store locations in Vancouver, Toronto and Tokyo, Reigning Champ has been building its renowned legacy since 2007.

“In my experience, the best collaborations are the ones between like-minded entities that share the same values and standards, and that is exactly the case with Miura Golf and Reigning Champ,” said Bill Holowaty, COO, Miura Golf. “Having our iconic MB-101 iron and Reigning Champ’s incomparable apparel emblazoned with our melded logos, showcases the dedication our companies devote to innovation and timeless design.”

A common goal for each company is to embrace the simplicity of their respective creative processes. Their pursuit of this ideal guides their approach every day and is never taken for granted.  

“Simplicity is arguably one of the hardest things to master, but just like the Miura family, our focus has always revolved around an obsession with quality, respect for craft and an unwavering resolve to master simplicity,” said Craig Atkinson, Founder, Reigning Champ. “The capsule of co-branded apparel we released was designed for a discerning audience and reaffirms each brand’s strength within the marketplace.”
