Ramen-Inspired Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Japanese Noodle Chain Tenkaippin Collaborated with le coq sportif

— November 4, 2021 — Fashion
In celebration of a milestone year, Japanese noodle chain Tenkaippin teamed up with French manufacturer le coq sportif on a pair of limited-edition ramen-inspired sneakers. The unique footwear design was inspired by the ingredients that go into making the chain's ramen ingredients and bowls.

le coq sportif’s iconic LCS R sneaker includes features such as heel tabs that reference the chicken bones used in the chain's ramen broth, which is represented by brown and beige hues. Other colorful details on the footwear design pay homage to green leeks and yellow noodles, which fittingly take the form of the laces on the sneakers.

The Tenkaippin x le coq sportif LCS R800 Z1 TI can be found inside a special box, which is also loaded with details for fans to appreciate.
