Lacoste hooked up with French sneaker magazine Shoes-Up and they designed the Missouri model into a unique effort celebrating the spirit of France. Shoes-Up take inspiration from the iconic French beret's traditional wool fabrications, with the kicks implementing that same material throughout the uppers with black tonal detailing and a silky interior lining.
These kicks are extremely limited, only 160 pair have been made !
Included with the kicks will be a classic black Basque Beret and a 148 page "Beret" photograph book by Charles Levy, packaged in a unique hat box.
For those who missed the release on December 1st at Colette (Paris), Reed Space (New York), Dover Street Market (London) or Limited Edition (Barcelona), we got some good news...
Tarmak will be having 9 pairs for sale in January '09.
