Chunky doesn’t seem to be going out of fashion soon, hence Lacoste is stepping up its footwear game by introducing the Court Slam; a sleek, yet chunky silhouette that’s suitable for everyday use.
The new Court Slam takes inspiration in archival steps, tapping details from a classic and merging it into streetwear. Based closely on the Tennis 91, the silhouette takes element from the grip of a tennis racket, featuring a leather upper with suede inserts. Balancing heritage and modernity results in a chunky 90s rubber outsole and comfortable padding offering a casual yet sporty style. The colours too, pay tribute to tennis’ roots with the classic court colours of red and white, creating a bold contrast. Finishing touches include the “Lacoste” branding embossed in gold on the lateral quarters and a tonal embossed crocodile on the heel.
The Court Slam will be exclusively released at SneakerLAH 2019 and will be available at selected LACOSTE boutiques after, retailing at RM479.
