Lacoste and Arthur Fils Introduce the Slam Break Premium
by Adriano Batista
Lacoste has unveiled the Slam Break Premium, a limited-edition shoe that launches a new line rooted in the brand’s tennis heritage. Arriving on 2 June 2026, the silhouette is presented in its highest expression, accompanied by a campaign starring Lacoste athlete Arthur Fils.
The Slam Break line brings together classic court details and modern construction in a single silhouette. The Premium edition elevates that foundation through materials and finish. The leather upper is clean and rigorous, with premium suede applied to the heel counter for texture. The midsole carries Lacoste’s Absorption De Shock technology, a technical foam originally developed for performance tennis models in the 2000s, designed to provide lightness and support throughout the day. A metallic crocodile sits on the side, pulled from the brand’s archives and reinterpreted for this release.
The colourway is off-white with deep red accents, a nod to Lacoste’s clay court history. A fluorescent neon green detail on the heel adds a sporty edge. Each pair comes in a red box with a crocodile-skin effect finish, alongside coordinated socks in burgundy and white.
The Slam Break Premium is priced at €180 and available in limited quantities at Lacoste.com and in select stores.
