Bringing back the funk with a [retro vibe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-aura), Lacoste Stealth (Lacoste’s exclusive line) is launching a limited edition shoe with the aptly-named Spanish sneaker house LimitEDition.

These [tennis shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tennis-20-sneakers) go against the grain of anything else you would see on the court. Using the previously unseen Indiana High model, these kicks feature bangin’ colors, and super old-school distressed style leather in the [high-top](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sons-rogue-baseline-hi-top-tan). Each pair comes with a variety of different colored laces to switch your cool up from day to day.
