Calling upon the late pop artist Keith Haring’s estate for a new collaboration, French brand Lacoste has combined his signature thoughtful and optimistic motifs with their elegant aesthetic and trademark crocodile logo for two brand-new pieces of footwear: a Missouri and a L 12.12. Although both shoes feature a crisp white leather upper and a navy sockliner, each interprets Haring’s iconic creations in a different fashion. The Missouri opts for an all-over print consisting of dancing humans and barking dogs alongside an embroidered alligator on the quarter, while the L.12.12 opts for a more subtle look, leaving the shoe mostly unadorned — save for an outlined man holding a heart on the lateral heel and the same alligator on the tongue. Haring’s artwork is certainly no stranger to footwear collaborations, having adorned many a memorable silhouette during his long run of Reebok collaborations, but these new Lacoste shoes certainly present it in a fresh new light that helps keep his memory alive. Both pairs are available now at shops like Titolo, with the Missouri retailing for $175 and the L.12.12 coming in at $145.
