  • You may be wondering why we have included

    this pair on our sports page, well it is because

    the brand is steeped in sporting history. If you

    didn't know, René Lacoste was a champion

    tennis player in the 1920's, his wife Simone

    a champion golfer and their daughter Catherine

    a champion golfer too. The Alligator was René's

    nickname on the court and before he started

    the brand, he'd had an alligator emblem sewn into

    his blazer. Later, when the brand was started in

    the 1930's. it was the first time a logo was worn

    on the outside of the clothing - so we've got him

    to blame for this global adoration of the label.

    We found this pair never worn, although the

    lenses have very slight storage marks, hence the

    9 rating. Trim and logos in gold metal to match

    the brow bar.
