The city is the setting for a life
without limits. The urban explorer is
on a quest to discover, reimagine and
defy convention. A determined and
optimistic approach transforms the
everyday into a new experience.
Each moment is an opportunity.
A refreshing perspective sets the
urban explorer apart. Where others see
the same-old, they yearn for the
never-seen-before. With an instinctive
lure to the here and now, the urban
explorer goes to any length to take in
all that the city has to offer.
The exploration endures, spurred on
by the urban landscape.
Explore the city, discover Paris.
RENE LACOSTE
5
R ENE A ND S IMONE , THE OR IGIN A L S
In 1927, René Lacoste, was at
the forefront of tennis, renowned for
his inimitable playing style.
Meanwhile, Simone de la Chaume won
the British Ladies Amateur, the most
prestigious women’s golf tournament.
But that year was not just a story
of sporting success.
The freedom and opportunity of the
1920s paved the way for René's future
of groundbreaking innovation and
limitless possibilities.
Two champions, united by inquisitive
minds and an optimistic approach
to life. Their time together centred
around the cosmopolitan city of Paris.
When René and Simone weren’t
training or competing, they explored
their city, drawing inspiration from its
unique energy and character.
René and Simone were icons of their
time. At the epicentre of a city which
combined the allure of heritage with
the thrill of the contemporary, just as
it continues to do today.
René Lacoste was the tennis
player of the 1920s. His place in
the history books was guaranteed.
Yet, his knowledge of the court,
coupled with an exacting and
audacious outlook on life, led to a
revolutionary design vision.
In 1963, Lacoste introduced the 'René'.
The silhouette was simple and
effortlessly refined, paving the way
for future incarnations. The LS.12,
Missouri and Half Court silhouettes
continue the tradition forming an iconic
repertoire which will forever stay true
to René Lacoste’s original principles.
Timeless innovation, sporting origin,
classic style, comfort. These are the
design principles which have formed
the basis for the brand, from René’s
earliest invention until now. Enduring
and assured. This season introduces
the Explorateur. A silhouette that takes
its founding influences from these
principles, combining heritage Lacoste
aesthetics with a contemporary
urban motivation.
T IMELESS INNOVAT IONThe flex pattern sole -
a defining feature of the very
first Lacoste tennis shoe -
is re-imagined alongside a
classic cupsole construction.
SPORT ING OR IG INSThe iconic 1986 Half Court
tennis silhouette lends signature
court-inspired design lines to
the upper.
CLASS IC STYLE The L.12.12 polo shirt’s defining
piqué pattern is an authentic
Lacoste element which is subtly
referenced through the rugged,
textured tread.
COMFORTRené Lacoste’s belief in
using technology to enhance
experience plays out in the
thoughtful padded collar and
moulded insock.

Ease, elegance and sporting spirit
are the values which unite every style
within the Explorateur collection.
Each silhouette acts as a perfected
antidote to city life. Lending unmistakable
heritage, the defining features across
the Explorateur collection include the
distinctive nod to 1980s silhouettes
such as the Half Court and subtle hints
to the outsole construction of the 1963
René silhouette. A signature cupsole
construction makes a contemporary
statement, while being fundamentally
routed in Lacoste’s sporting past.
The Explorateur, with iterations for men,
women and kids, has a classic, premium
feel. Striking a balance between authentic
athletic heritage and contemporary
aesthetics and construction, this premium
leather shoe is the embodiment of
past-modern style.

1963. The link to past icons continues
with the design lines on the quarter
referencing the 1986 Half Court.
Beautiful supple leather lends a
luxurious finish enhancing the
combination of effortless urban
ease with the exacting style codes
originally pioneered by René Lacoste.

Timeless simplicity defines the
women’s Explorateur collection.
Tennis heritage unites with
contemporary edge to create a
classic silhouette which takes the
demands of the city in its stride.
Taking its cues from the enduring
appeal of winter-ready boots, the
hi-top profile nods to the precise
angles and defined lines of the tennis
court which informed René Lacoste’s
unique design philosophy.
Lacoste's sporting legacy is
accentuated further in premium
leather, embossed and etched with
subtle lines for an elegant finish
with urban versatility in mind.
Create a laid-back narrative for
work-to-play by pairing the
Explorateur with minimal tailoring.

The Explorateur Mid Sport takes its
inspiration from the quest to find the
perfect product fit for movement
and durability, exacting standards
which was essential to René Lacoste’s
tennis success and the attention-to-
detail of his innovations.
Striving for perfection plays out in a carefully balanced meeting of function and form. Explorateur Sport is crafted using contemporary materials blended with silhouettes informed by the iconic Lacoste archive; the distinguishing contours of the upper reference the profile of the 1986 Half Court.
Explorateur Sport has winter in the city at its core, crafted with considerations of the urban explorer lifestyle as the central influence. A mudguard and reflective heel detailing infuse functional appeal for now, in the same spirit as René Lacoste’s pioneering designs.
