Throughout its history, Lacoste has been known for blurring the line between sports and sportswear, as well as sportswear and streetwear.
Always with tennis at its core, its evolution has taken it to new places. Highsnobiety specialises in telling streetwear stories and elevating them into new categories. And Lacoste has a lot to say, because its creator, René Lacoste, was not only a tennis player, but also an inventor who registered up to thirty patents during his life, new creations related to maximum performance in tennis or golf (where his wife and daughter stood out), racquets of new materials or training machines, but also sportswear such as a polo shirt made in “le petit piqué.”
The first collaboration between Lacoste and Highsnobiety, “Shades of Tennis”, captures this spirit of continuous evolution in a collection of two sneakers, L003 2k4 for men and women, and six pieces in which well-known sportswear patterns are updated with contemporary materials and silhouettes, current tones, and oversized cuts.
The Lacoste x Highsnobiety L003 2K24 is a new sneaker with two versions, one for men and one for women, based on the L003 Neo. A sporty and trendy model made of mesh, leather, suede, and a translucent outer cage that matches the rest of the collection and features Lacoste’s signature green details.
The Lacoste x Highsnobiety Unisex Oversized Polo updates Lacoste’s classic two-button polo. With a boxy silhouette, no side cuts to accentuate the fit, and made of double-sided pique designed specifically for this collection. The crocodile appears on the chest once more, this time alongside the Highsnobiety logo. The Lacoste x Highsnobiety Unisex Fleece Hoodie is inspired by the polo shirt, featuring the same oversized pattern, double-sided pique, and logo binding. The Lacoste x Highsnobiety Unisex Sweatpants, Oversized Heavy Jersey T-Shirt, Cap and Embroidered Socks all contribute to the collection’s identity.
Sportswear on the streets, a common occurrence in Lacoste’s history, stands out in this collection in collaboration with Highsnobiety. Available now at FOOTDISTRICT.
