From the French sports brand le coq sportif, a new project called "CRAFTED SNEAKER," developed in collaboration with shoe designer Kentaro Gobo, will be available for a limited time at the Mitsukoshi Isetan online store and the men's shoe section on the first basement floor of the Isetan Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .
From Wednesday, May 26th to Tuesday, June 8th, we will be offering a pre-sale of new models of the "LCS RC PROMENADE" and "LCS RC PASSAGE," which are updated versions of the first collection, as well as the "LCS R800 Z1 OM," a concept model with Le Coq Sportif's running shoe DNA.

"Crafted Sneakers" reinterprets the increasingly diverse nature of business scenes from the ground up, creating sneakers for the new normal era that eliminate the boundaries between on and off-duty. Launched in the Fall/Winter 2020 season, the brand aims to offer footwear that can be worn "anytime, anywhere, and in any situation."

During the event, we will be showcasing the "LCS RC Promenade," a hybrid shoe inspired by officer shoes, featuring a simple look suitable for business settings. The upper is made of high-quality all-leather, and the shoe incorporates features that pursue comfort and stability from a new perspective, such as the "Dynactif System," a cushioning system with different hardness levels in the front and back, a "heel clip" structure in the heel area, and a "side rigger" in the outsole.

On the other hand, the "LCS RC Passage" is a sporty type with an upper that combines natural leather and mesh. Its sophisticated look makes it suitable for business settings as well. New colors of these two models will be released as new products.

The "LCS R800 Z1 OM" is a concept model that inherits the DNA of Le Coq Sportif's running shoe, the "LCS R". The upper combines leather and stretch material, and it has a slip-on structure that allows you to wear it with the heel folded down.

The insole is reversible, featuring EVA and textile for comfortable wear even barefoot. While retaining the feel of the archive model, it's been transformed into a "one-mile sneaker" that elevates even short outings. The elegant color scheme, typical of a French brand, is also a key feature.
