A new step for the L003 franchise: Lacoste introduces the L003 Neo Shot, a sneaker where technicality and character are one.
The French crocodile is baring its teeth. After the arrival of the L003 Neo in 2023, the French franchise is back to unveil a new model: the L003 Neo Shot. Inspired by sports courts and streets, Lacoste pushes the fusion of fashion, sport, and culture even further with a bold model. The result? A pair that exudes confidence and creativity, a concentrate of technicality that is reminiscent of the brand's DNA. And to mark this release, the brand has surrounded itself with two major figures of the movement: Nicolas Huchard, renowned choreographer, and XiaoYi Liu, dancer and model. Together, they bring to life an immersive campaign that celebrates the power of movement.
From the courts to the city, it is just one step. For over sixty years, Lacoste has evolved on several well-founded principles. Grip. Resistance. Elegance. The thinking behind the design is the same as today with a single desire: to innovate. To honor the vision of founder Rene Lacoste, the famous French brand improves the L003. While the L003 franchise has already made an impression with models that push the boundaries between performance and style, Lacoste ventures even further into experimentation with shapes and materials. Combining avant-garde design and athletic DNA, this 2.0 version marks a decisive turning point. Breathable mesh. Nubuck. Glossy overlays. With the L003 Neo Shot, every detail is designed to elevate the design.
On the design side, the pair features a sculptural construction where every curve and relief contribute to a decidedly contemporary aesthetic. The finishing touch? An EVA midsole along with a rubber outsole to guarantee unfailing cushioning and stability. Alongside a green version and a grey one highlighted in the campaign, the essential black and white monochromes are joined by vibrant light tones ranging from yellow to red, through pink. In other words, the L003 Neo Shot comes in about ten colorways. But the French house doesn't just offer an ultra-desirable product, it combines athletic performance with a decidedly avant-garde aesthetic. Above all, it is a philosophy of movement since through the L003 Neo Shot, self-expression is placed at the center.
A launch celebrated through movement
To accompany this release, Lacoste imagined a campaign that transcends conventions and highlights the fluidity of the body in action. Nicolas Huchard, who has already worked with Madonna and Lady Gaga, infuses his talent into this artistic vision with a meticulously staged production where light and fluidity intertwine. By his side, XiaoYi Liu, a complete artist, elevates each movement with hypnotic choreography. The setting? A rotating clay court stage, a subtle nod to Lacoste's tennis heritage, where the dancers perform with power and grace. An elegant way to express the connection between sport, fashion, and artistic expression. Here, the L003 Neo Shot becomes much more than an accessory: the pair becomes an extension of movement, a tool for self-assertion.
With the L003 Neo Shot, the French crocodile confirms its status as a visionary brand, where innovation meets style and performance. More than just a pair, the model embodies a philosophy of movement, where every stride becomes a statement of confidence and empowerment for a generation seeking boldness, freedom, and movement. Behind its bold design, the L003 Neo Shot hides technical expertise and checks all the boxes. Already available in Lacoste stores and on lacoste.com at a price of 130 euros, the L003 Neo Shot stands as a must-have of the season. Ready to take the first step?
