Le Coq Sportif is synonymous with clean and minimal sneakers, as seen in the recent release of “The Great Reset” pack, and that looks set to continue with its latest drop, the “1978” pack. Made to celebrate the connection between Arthur Ashe and Yannick Noah (who first met in 1969 when Noah was 9 years old and connected again in 1978 by playing a doubles match together at Wimbledon), the pack includes two different shoes — one named after Ashe and one after Noah. Both use full-grain leather, gold contrast detailing and have translucent green outsoles. The pack is limited to 78 pairs in total and comes with an astroturf-lined shoebox. The shoes will cost £120 GBP (approximately $150 USD) and will be available from Le Coq Sportif’s web store.
