The Lacoste Stealth collection dishes out another helping of lifestyle sneakers this month. Two of the models include the Ardeur and Revan OG. The Ardeur is a remake of a Lacoste classic from 1983, which originally filled a void in Lacoste’s sneaker roster as a performance alternative. The Revan OG is a hybrid-like design with a more sophisticated approach to the sneaker. The leather upper also includes a stitched toe box. Look for these to hit your local Lacoste Stealth dealer in early February.

These are set to release March 15th at European New Era outlets.
