Lacoste: a legendary brand historically linked to racket sports
Founded in 1933 by the legendary tennis player René Lacoste, the Lacoste brand has been closely linked to racket sports since its beginnings. René Lacoste, nicknamed "the Alligator" for his tenacity on court, revolutionised the tennis world not only through his playing style, but also through his technical innovations.
Over the decades, Lacoste has expanded its expertise to other racket disciplines, notably padel. Lacoste has invested in developing specific padel products, working with experts to design equipment that meets the specific demands of this dynamic game. In 2017, Lacoste reinforced its commitment to racket sports by acquiring a majority stake in Major Sports, the parent company of Tecnifibre, specialising in tennis, squash and padel equipment.
This collaboration has enabled Lacoste to combine its keen sense of style with the technical expertise of Tecnifibre, resulting in high-performance and stylish products for padel players.
Clothing, but also shoes!
In parallel, Lacoste has developed a range of shoes tailored to the specific needs of padel players. These models are designed to provide optimal grip, effective cushioning and great stability, essential for rapid movements and frequent changes of direction. The materials used, such as engineered mesh, ensure enhanced breathability, while the innovative outsoles guarantee multidirectional traction. This attention to detail reflects Lacoste's commitment to providing athletes with gear that combines performance and elegance, consolidating its position as a leader in racket sports.
