Sneakers76 has collaborated with Le Coq Sportif to release a new sneaker dedicated to the islands of San Paolo and San Pietro. These brands previously joined forces to create the ‘The Guardians of the Sea’ sneaker with the LCS R1000 silhouette and have now unveiled another themed shoe titled 'The Islands.'
The shoe is decorated in vibrant pastel shades like blue, beige, and pink. Blue represents the island sea, while the beige and pink hues represent the sand. On the heel is white embroidered Le Coq Sportif branding, while above, the sneaker boasts sand and burgundy leather patches that complement its color scheme.
The shoebox is designed to look like a carry-on suitcase and, therefore, comes covered in retro airline stickers that are similar to the vintage luggage used in the ‘80s. Interested parties can visit the Sneaker76 website to purchase a pair on May 20, 2022.
