Lol it’s probably gonna cost as much as the vapor x full retail, 25% off is 150. I don’t see myself ever trying these, and I don’t know why anyone would try them considering the price and them trying to get into a market dominated by Asics, Adidas, and Nike.

I am probably going to try them at latest when Lacoste makes their semi-annual sale of 30% off, and maybe sooner, if they are available broadly everywhere. They will come at about 100 EUR, so about 115-120 USD.
They look interesting, with the GoodYear rubber (surprised that Lacoste is not partnering with Michelin) and the full plastic? footbed. I am a bit worried that they taper quite severely on the lateral side of the toe box, but we will see about that.

Trying to compete with Benoit and failing miserably. He’s just not really a style over substance kinda guy.

I don't think Djokovic will change.
He has a separate shoe contract with ASICS.

I can certainly see Lacoste retiring the Tecnifibre brand and re-branding them as Lacoste racquets. Makes sense.

I actually really liked the shoes they made 10 years ago, I think it was called the Gravitate. Interested in trying them

All Michelin rubber is devoted to Bibreshs and is under strict inventory monitoring. Goodyear know how to divert resources, thanks much to their experience with their Hinduberg air fleet.I am probably going to try them at latest when Lacoste makes their semi-annual sale of 30% off, and maybe sooner, if they are available broadly everywhere.

Would buy them only if the logo was much bigger and in the heel area. However, I am totally surprised by the use of full length Pebax chassis. I'm curious how it would work on a tennis court. Still, it's good to have them back to performance tennis.

Lotto had a Pebax chassis back in the mid 1990’s in their Futura Aleta Speed. It was a great supportive tennis shoe.

Babolat manages to steal some from Bibereshs for their shoes, which is what helps him with his slim waste line..

I remember those. Lacoste made it more aggressive turning it into a bridge.

Good point. And those were not that good tennis shoes either.

Lacoste released a shoe last year, called lc scale 120, I don't know why they didn't try and market it. It looks much better than this shoe as well.

Yeah, it didn't look like a performance shoe, and it didn't look Lacoste (more like a Barricade). The new one is much better.

I held them in my hand at the French Open and I thought they are really weak and cheap fabrics. Didn’t seem like a serious tennis shoe but more for the ball kids.Lacoste released a shoe last year, called lc scale 120, I don't know why they didn't try and market it.

I’m a lacoste a brand ambassador. 100% lacoste head to almost toe everyday 6 days a week at work wether in the pro shop or on the court all I wear and use is Renne,s croc stuff.
However all of the lacoste shoes suck . Hate it . But it’s true . For me it’s the fit, material , shape . Everything. .. I wish I didn’t feel this way. But it’s true . I love all their apparel, expensive for folks that have to pay full price . But it’s so cool , their pools are always the best ..

I have a deep love for the Lacoste stuff as it reminds me so much of being a boy growing up too . Well back then in the 80’s and early 90’s in this country it was called izod .
My high school sr year book pic I’m wearing a v neck izod sweater yellow pale in color
It wasn’t until 2008 ish I believe when I finally ditched fila . It was all I ever wore on court from the time I became a full time tennis teaching pro . Till 2008 … my apparel obsession had a direct correlation with Becker … my all time fave player still .
I was super lucky and fortunate to befriend the Lacoste rep back in Dallas and got the hookup
What is most interesting about the brand is the synthetic fabrics that they used to use for their (sport ) line has only gotten better in recent years . Where as some companies start out nice and scale back quality as they get more sales through the years ..
thank you Lacoste

I have to agree as well that Danny’s kit in the above pic is horrendous

Funny how his forehand still looks somewhat awkward even in a posed, static pic.

And his back hand grips so far apart . Dude has wicked ugly athletic movements.
Am I jealous . Of course. But not for his form
There's some decent analyses on YouTube about how is form is so good even if it looks a little unorthodox at times. I love how he drives the backhand and it's interesting that he finishes above the shoulder with the forehand. It's amazing that a 6'6" guy can move like that. I personally love watching Medvedev play.

Intuitive tennis and my tennis HQ I believe were the video. He’s a lengthy guy at 6’6. It looks awkward but it actually is good form.
Nic from intuitive tennis doesn’t exactly agree with the backhand grip. But it works for him.
I’ve personally tried gripping my backhand like that with the left hand placed towards the top of the grip. It’s actually nice and I feel like I hit my backhand a bit flatter
