Arc'teryx and BEAMS Mark 25 Years with Anniversary Collection and Pop-Ups in New York and Tokyo

Arc'teryx and BEAMS are celebrating 25 years of collaboration with an anniversary collection that revisits archival designs. The partnership began in 2001 when Kei Hirosawa, then a buyer at BEAMS, saw potential in Arc'teryx's technical design beyond outdoor use. Their first collaboration included the Arro Backpack and Theta AR Jacket. The new collection revives the 1998 Theta AR Jacket with fresh color blocking inspired by BEAMS, updated with GORE-TEX PRO ePE, a waterproof, breathable material without intentionally added PFAS. The color theme is 'Kōyō,' a Japanese term for autumn leaf color change, blending BEAMS's iconic orange with Arc'teryx's palette. Five other pieces join the jacket: the Gamma Jacket (wind- and water-resistant softshell), Jogen Pants (wide climbing pants inspired by Japanese-American tradition), a brushed cotton LS T-Shirt with 25th-anniversary graphics, the Konseal 15L Pack (climbing backpack in Hadron fabric), and the Gamma Hat (five-panel cap with embroidered logos). The project also introduces the brands' first complete bouldering kit, designed for both outdoor and urban environments. The Arc'teryx x BEAMS Anniversary Collection will be available online and in global stores from September 25, 2026. Pop-up exhibitions will be held in New York from September 22–24 and in Tokyo from September 25–27.
