Lacoste references retro design inspiration as it unveils the new Match Break sneaker model joining the Spring/Summer 2021 season. The brand nods to archival designs from the 70s to inform the latest silhouette, blending heritage aesthetics with modern touches.
The sneaker boasts clean looks with technical features to elevate the functions, balancing an elegant look with fine French craftsmanship. The upper is made from plain canvas materials for casual looks and breathability. It boasts a natural texture that is further accented with visible seams and overlaid with leather materials for some textural contrast. Contrasting elements continue with the application of color on the shoe complete with a tapered sole unit and a rubber outsole foundation.
