Lacoste Trainers - Lacoste Footwear and Cheap Lacoste Shoes

Lacoste footwear. If any brand is synonymous with premium sportswear it has to be Lacoste. Founded in 1933 as La Chemise Lacoste to produce the revolutionary tennis shirts Rene Lacoste had been wearing with its famous logo; which, contrary to popular belief, may well be an alligator and not a crocodile embroidered on its chest. Arguably, this is the first time that a manufacturer’s logo was displayed so prominently on their clothing. Many believe that the logo is based around Rene Lacoste’s aggressive playing style when he dominated the tennis scene in the ‘20’s and ‘30’s and as a result was a crocodile. But Rene’s son Bernard said that the logo came in to being as a result of a bet between his dad and his team captain over a match with the winner claiming an alligator (Or possibly crocodile) suitcase they had seen in Boston. Whatever it is and however it came in to being it its one of the most stylish and easily recognisable brands in the world. The ubiquitous Lacoste polo shirt, for example, is a staple of many a wardrobe.

Lacoste also drove one of the most innovative advancements in tennis technology with the first tubular steel tennis racquet which was marketed in the USA by Wilson as the T2000 as used by one Jimmy Connors to devastating effect against players using wooden racquets. The Lacoste Tennis association is as strong today with many top players choosing Lacoste tennis shoes, Lacoste tennis shirts to wear on the professional circuit.
