Lacoste don’t just make polo shirts with crocodiles on ‘em – they make mega swish tennis shoes with crocodiles on ‘em too.

And we’ve been lucky enough to get our grubby mitts on a couple of pairs.

The G80 OG is a a stand-out example of the sleek, slightly-techy tennis shoe vibe of the 80s and the René OG is a direct recreation of what courtside footwear was like back in the sepia-tinted year of 1963.

Both of them are very good.

More from the Lacoste Archive

From tennis shoes to the famous crocodile polo shirt, Lacoste have made a fair bit of sporting gear over the years.

We've rounded up some of it in Pictures of People Wearing Lacoste, a collection of old photographs featuring the French label.

These tennis shoes are from the archives, but you can see what's currently available in our Lacoste collection.
