THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATS TO THE WINNER!

Our friends over at LACOSTE are also celebrating a big birthday this year and in celebration of their 80th Anniversary, LACOSTE has created an exclusive collection, revisiting the timeless style of the brand and reinventing the symbols, materials, and elements of unconvential chic.

Along with the exclusive collection, LACOSTE has created a tribute collection of footwear with three styles: René Lacoste OG, René Crafted Perf, and René Crafted. To celebrate, LACOSTE is giving away a pair of shoes from their 80th Anniversary Collection to one of our lucky readers. Just tell us why you think you should win (a birthday shoutout to LACOSTE is always nice too) in the comment section below.

The 80th Anniversary Collection

The original René Lacoste tennis shoe was designed by the man himself and has been a cornerstone of the brand’s identity ever since. Originally constructed out of herringbone canvas in a classic milky shade, it laid down the blueprint of how LACOSTE footwear was to develop over the next 80 years. Taking the aesthetics from this iconic design, the 80th Anniversary Collection combines the timeless simplicity of René's first creation with a celebration of eight decades of design. Providing a limited edition release of highly considered materials and detailing, this range offers an opportunity to invest in a timeless piece of LACOSTE history. The workmanship and finely crafted elements of the range embody the essential 80th Anniversary Collection.

René Lacoste OG
The original shoe designed by René Lacoste himself, recreated to the original specification and evoking the pioneering color, material and heritage design. The canvas has been re-designed to recapture the original fine gauge herringbone material. Echoing its proud tennis heritage, the René Lacoste shoe recaptures the iconic blueprint set down by the man known simply as 'The Crocodile'.

René Crafted Perf
A beautifully hand crafted version of the René Lacoste sneaker. Featuring unlined premium leather uppers, with a herringbone perforation panel to represent the original canvas used, this shoe exudes class. A leather in-sock features the 80th Anniversary logo designed by Peter Saville and the shoe is finished with a striking leather foxing. This incarnation of the classic René features a crafted leather sole with embossed crocodile detailing. The workmanship and high quality finish will make this a true collectors’ piece for lovers of fine footwear.

René Crafted
With many of the same elements as the René Crafted Perf, this shoe showcases a supreme view on the use of prestige leather. Again we see the leather sole unit and embossed 80th Anniversary logo which is key to the anniversary style. The distinguishing feature on this release is the dark, supple, unlined leather upper that accentuates the desire to provide the highest quality materials on this heritage piece. The deep coloration and intricate detailing will lead the René Crafted to be an essential purchase for footwear lovers and sneaker collectors alike.
