Footpatrol x Le Coq Sportif Made in France R800 ‘Artisan’

 

Hot on the heels of the "Only In Tokyo" collab with BEAMS and Saucony last month, London's Footpatrol round off the year with another solid footwear release, this time teaming up with Le Coq Sportif on the R800 'Artisan'.

Teaming up with the French sportswear label for the third time, Footpatrol look to the brands newly introduced 'Made In France' line in which LCS celebrate their rich heritage and commitment to their unique manufacturing process of their most iconic running styles. Pulling the form fitting R800 silhouette from the archive, Footpatrol pay homage to the skilled craftsmen/craftswomen across Western Europe who are dedicated to their trade, and who in this case, continue to devote their skills to producing high quality footwear by hand in France.

For the aptly named 'Artisan' release, the R800 has been dressed in a perforated dress blue leather on the upper, accented with a smooth nubuck on the heel and medial panels. The blue is contrasted with tan leather detailing on the shoes lining and laser-engraved dual-branded tongue detailing. The premium upper sits on top of an off white sole unit and complimenting gum outsole. Every pair arrives with three sets of laces for customisation, including a dress blue flat lace, multi-coloured flat lace and a full grain tan leather lace, and arrives in a custom wooden shoe box which includes a set of wooden shoe trees, leather shoe cream, buffing cloth and shoe brush.

The Footpatrol x Le Coq Sportif Made in France R800 'Artisan' is set to drop this Friday the 18th December exclusively at Footpatrol.

Le Coq Sportif x Highs & Lows ‘Swans’ Pack

 

French sportswear brand Le Coq Sportif have been responsible for some of the most exciting footwear releases of the past few years, from multiple colour ways in the R1000 to notable collabs such as Footpatrols ‘Macaron’ edition of the Eclat, its been great to see the brands resurgence of late.

Inspired by Australia’s iconic black swan and its European counterpart, Le Coq Sportif link up with Aussie street wear store Highs and Lows to present their latest collaborative effort in the ‘Swans’ pack.

Arriving in two colour ways, the latest rework of the R1000 sees calf skin leather and premium nubuck applied to the uppers layered panels, whilst a moisture wick lining provides comfort and durability for a superior fit. Taking cues from Western Australia’s black swan and Europe’s equally unique white swan, one pair receives a predominantly black colour treatment and the other white, each with a perforated red toe box and hints of orange, yellow and grey to add pop.

The Le Coq Sportif X Highs and Lows R1000 ‘Swans’ Pack will be available at the following retailers from the 6th of September;
