Lacoste and Highsnobiety have joined forces to create an exclusive L003 2K24 sneaker and apparel collection, set to launch on February 2. Priced at €220, the sneaker seamlessly blends tennis sophistication, French fashion allure, and a touch of unconventional luxury. Drawing inspiration from Lacoste’s tennis legacy, Highsnobiety adds a contemporary twist with a focus on luxury and youthful cultural influences, resulting in a distinct sports silhouette.
The L003 2K24, an evolution of the L003 Neo, prioritizes sports over fashion, delivering a high-performing lightweight shoe with a super-light upper featuring elements like ballistic nylon and a padded mesh vamp. The technicality and flair of the tennis court are infused into everyday wear, offering a comfortable and stylish sports shoe. The EVA midsole provides cushioning with TPU reinforcement for stability, complemented by a rubber outsole featuring running-inspired anti-slip spikes for a contemporary look.
Premium details include elements like hairy suede, rich meshes, terry toweling lining, embroidered logos, a nubuck leather tongue label, knitted insock, matte finish TPU embossed outercage, and tumbled leather underlays. The color palette takes inspiration from clay and grass court tones, accented by vibrant green reminiscent of Lacoste’s iconic logo.
The ‘Shades of Tennis’ themed apparel collection includes a modern reinterpretation of the polo top, a co-branded T-shirt, hoodie, jogging bottoms, cap, and socks. All items are designed with a slightly oversized shape, offering a fresh and comfortable style.
This collaboration introduces the world to the L003 2K24, with plans for a broader release in the coming months.
