As for the shoes of this company, today is becoming increasingly popular with stylish sneakers.
Features and advantages
The history of the brand Lacoste begins in 1917, when Paris manufacturer John Lakost sent his thirteen-year-old son for training in England.
Here, while studying in college, the future champion was invited to tennis training, and from that time the child literally "fell ill" with sports, putting a goal to become the winner on the court.
In a weak and slender Rene, nobody believed, even including its coaches and father. The first performance ended with a defeat, but after a while, the young man went to the court again and did, as it seemed to everyone, I was impossible - became the champion. It was indeed a man of tremendous will and extraordinary performance.
In 25 years, Ren has tuberculosis, which put a point in his sports career. But he managed to start life again - held as a succeeding businessman. He began with the release of tennis shirts who wore his name. The branded label of products has become the notorious crocodile.
There are several versions of the origin of this logo. Some believed that her militant rack during the game on the court was reminded by a formidable animal. Others argued that a suitcase was made of crocodile leather, which Rena once put on the con at the time of one of the sports fights.
Tennis shirts from Lacoste quickly become popular.
Then the entrepreneur develops a tennis "gun" - a device for throwing balls to train without a partner. Rena Lakost first began to use metal in the production of rackets (before that they were wooden) and even received a patent for this product. Next, a brilliant inventor he comes up with a vibrationant for rackets.
After 30 years, the brand already owns a large network of stores and in France, and beyond. An emblem with a crocodile is already wearing not only sports equipment, but also toilet water, cars, yachts and other products.
Inappropriate, its weak health renee lived to a deep old age and died at 97 years. Today, the trademark is headed by Designer Christophe Lever - thanks to him, the brand became even brighter. By the way, the changes touched the crocodile - from the green he became silver-gray.
