Lacoste and Zaha Hadid Team to Design Ultra-Modern Shoes

Trend Hunter reported on a collaboration between London-based Zaha Hadid Architects and Lacoste to create a futuristic-looking pair of adaptive shoes. 

This coming July, the slick footwear, which bears Hadid’s ultra-modern signature architectural style, will finally be released in a very limited edition of 850 pairs.

“Featuring a digitized version of Lacoste’s famous croc logo and a pliable, coiled strap system, the styles bring Hadid’s signature look to footwear for men (an ankle boot) and women (a calf boot)," Style Crave says.

The shoes will be available at Colette in Paris, Dover Street Market in London and 10 Corso Como in Milan.
