LACOSTE Footwear F/W 2015





NYC:

runway collection
Lead designer Oliveira Baptista is aways inspired by Lacoste's rich sporty heritage---and so he and his employer were (and always are) a step ahead of this year's trendy Athleisure inspired athletic streetwear.











Highlights:

Clean silhouettes with urban edge, functioning fabrics (have to see/feel to appreciate, imo), and luxe comfort-marching orders for the entire collection-from the runway-to rtw-to the footwear (and accessories)...AND OF COURSE THOSE POLO TOPS.
patent shiny grey-ish blue-a dominant F/W 2015 color...on men's Derby...nice stitch details…would look just right wear without socks
lightweight-as rubber compound used outsole is also shock absorbing for all day wear
leather-suede Derbys
high-tops-leather metallic...white outsole...
metallics and this shiny rich leather in F/W colors-in a lifestyle low-top sneaker-with croc logo on side
The distinguishing commonality of almost all of the Lacoste footwear we saw at the most recent media preview---is taking the white rubber outsole of a typical tennis sneaker-and laces-mixed with a wide variety of upper textures---that for the most part-is super lightweight.

Tennis-major inspiration for style cues

mixed wool and leather upper-atop white rubber rim + treaded orange outsoles -so light ----mere ounces. All day comfort
old school 90's look...play on suede, wool, leather in dark grays,black...on white outsole.
