The Return of the ’80s Lacoste LS.12 Tennis Sneaker






Lacoste dust off a classic tennis shoe from the archive, breathing new life into the LS.12 first released in 1987 and specifically created for hard court surfaces. A unusually solid sneaker, design director Felipe Oliveira Baptista describes, “The LS12 is an ’80s revival sneaker, whose fresh shape and perforated leather acknowledge the founding spirit of a cool and thereby peerless era.” Based on the original ‘Eclair’ silhouette, adapted for a modern audience, punched calfskin leather combined with soft suede in tone-on-tone colorways, the matching thick sole will still survive a session on your local court. Available in black, navy, burgundy, white and a limited edition runway model.
