About Lacoste
Lacoste takes its name and logo from tennis player René Lacoste, who earned the nickname “the crocodile” in the 1920s because of his tenacious playing style. In 1933, he founded the brand with textile entrepreneur André Gillier and introduced the piqué polo shirt with its embroidered crocodile, widely regarded as one of the first times a logo appeared on sportswear. With its roots in tennis and sport, Lacoste grew into a French lifestyle brand with a distinctive, polished style. In footwear, this translates into refined court sneakers and retro-inspired silhouettes, with Lacoste having worked with the Pentland Group on the production of its footwear since the early 1990s. From classic white leather to sportier versions, the range is broad, and prices vary by shop and model. At Solezilla, you can compare the full Lacoste range from dozens of shops side by side, so you can see the best price in your size at a glance.
