About Le Coq Sportif

While much of the sneaker world looks to America, Le Coq Sportif comes straight from France—and has done so for a very long time. The brand was founded by Émile Camuset in 1882 and has featured the Gallic rooster, France’s defining symbol, as its trademark since 1948. Its history reads like a chapter of French sporting culture: in 1939, the company launched the first tracksuit ever made, began producing the famous yellow Tour de France jersey in 1951, and outfitted the French national football team and Olympic squads. In 1983, Yannick Noah won the French Open wearing Le Coq Sportif. Today, the brand translates that heritage into retro-sporty sneakers and clothing with an unmistakably French signature. From classic court models to modern runners, the range is broad, and every store prices differently, so the same pair can vary considerably in price. At Solezilla, you can compare the selection and pick up your size at the best price.
