Lacoste Legends Launch Party

To celebrate the launch of the LACOSTE Legends project, LACOSTE hosted a glamorous party at Berlin night-spot ‘Stadbad’.

Located in a disused swimming baths in Berlin, the Stadtbad Oderberger was the perfect venue for the Legends event, and was totally transformed that evening into a LACOSTE haven, complete with ‘grass’ tennis court that acted as the dance floor.

A set from project collaborator Stones Throw (DJ James Pants) filled the dance floor with the tracks that made them famous. The music then turned over to Jazzie B, formerly of Soul II Soul, whose rendition of ‘Back to Life’ proved a sensation.

Over 500 people joined the party to celebrate this unique LACOSTE footwear collaboration project and mark the occasion in true legendary style.

Lacoste 2010 Steel Racquet Collection

Lacoste have released a collection of four heritage sneakers inspired by the steel tennis racquet invented by René Lacoste himself in 1963.

Steel Racquets Range
All four styles - M85 Mid, René Lacoste, Broadwick and Europa - feature a mixture of metallic fabrics in leather, mesh or reflective material and are contrasted by brown leather details that replicate the handle of the racquet.
René Lacoste SR features suppers of metallic mesh with brown leather detail replicating that on the handle of a racquet, a fitting tribute considering that the shoe was also created by René Lacoste himself the same year he invented the metal racquet.

The three other styles in this capsule also have a mix of metallic fabrics on the uppers and the brown leather handle detail. Broadwick SR has leather uppers in matte steel colour, while M85 Mid SR has mirrored metallic steel leather with some metallic mesh accents on the ankle. Europa SR rounds out this capsule with uppers in the matte steel leather and metallic mesh.
