mita sneakers joined forces with Japanese retail label Le Coq Sportif in reworking the LCS R 921 sneaker silhouette. The revised version of the footwear celebrates Le Coq Sportif's brand heritage, as the shoes boast a color palette that represents the French colors of red, white and blue.
To elevate the classic LCS R 921 sneakers, the Dynactif outsole was implemented to maximize comfort. There is also an overall translucent plastic detailing the heel panels to add visual contrast. The mita sneakers x Le Coq Sportif sneakers sport a blend of different materials all across the upper, comprised of materials such as suede, mesh and nubuck. Additionally, there is also a chainlink graphic detailing the detachable insoles.
