Sneaker by Zaha Hadid for Lacoste
Lacoste have partnered with the internationally renown Zaha Hadid Architects to release a capsule collection of footwear. The Pritzker Prize winning deconstructivist architect used a digitized version of the iconic Lacoste crocodile logo as a basis to explore surfaces with repeated patterns.
“The design expression behind the collaboration with Lacoste footwear allows the evolution of dynamic fluid grids”, explains Hadid. “When wrapped around the shape of a foot, these expand and contract to negotiate and adapt to the body ergonomically. In Doing so a landscape emerges, undulating and radiating as it merges seamlessly with the body”.
