Slam Break
Tennis Heritage, Elevated
With the Slam Break, Lacoste reinterprets its tennis codes. Blending retro-inspired details with contemporary design, enhanced by signature comfort technology, the silhouette captures the energy of the court in a bold new expression.
Back to the Court
Born on the tennis court in 1933, Lacoste has always spoken the language of the game. After more than 90 years of bringing sports and style together, and over 60 years of footwear expertise, the brand reimagines this rich heritage through the Slam Break. Introduced with the limited-edition Slam Break Premium alongside Arthur Fils, this hero silhouette inaugurates a new footwear family, evolving Lacoste's iconic tennis codes to forge a unique connection between the court and the city.
Retro Spirit. Contemporary Details.
Every detail of the silhouette reflects this balance. A streamlined upper, suede overlays punctuated with perforations and a mesh tongue, all finished with the iconic crocodile, pay tribute to Lacoste's sports heritage. Alongside these retro-inspired elements, contemporary innovations bring the design firmly into the present. A stretch-mesh lining delivers a precise, comfortable fit. A TPU heel counter enhances stability. And the midsole features Lacoste's signature Absorption de Shock (A.D.S.) technology, originally developed for the brand's performance tennis shoes in the 2000s, providing lightweight cushioning and lasting comfort.
One Silhouette. Two Expressions.
The Slam Break is available in two distinctive expressions. The first features a refined leather upper in Lacoste's signature white and green colorway.
The second takes a more technical approach, combining ripstop fabric, metal eyelets and a printed crocodile, with its signature edition pairing neutral tones with rich brown accents. Available for both men and women, each version comes in a wide range of colorways, from bold pink and deep blue to vibrant pastels and timeless black.
A Fresh Perspective on an Iconic Heritage
The campaign imagery behind the Slam Break reflects the creative vision that shaped its design and Lacoste's enduring ability to reinterpret its iconic codes. It moves seamlessly between the court and the design studio, where the archives are explored, reworked and reimagined. At Lacoste, tennis culture has always been as much about creation as competition. The Slam Break embodies its latest expression. Heritage, elevated.
