VEJA x Cesar Villalba – Condor 3 Advanced: Sustainable Performance Meets Design
French sneaker brand VEJA, which has made a name for itself in recent years with its transparent production chain, joins forces with designer and athlete Cesar Villalba. The collaboration results in a reinterpretation of the Condor 3 Advanced: a running shoe positioned at the intersection of performance and design. Villalba, active in the Californian outdoor scene, integrated visual codes from trail running into a lightweight silhouette, featuring recycled materials, an updated Dynamic-Plate, and improved cushioning. The shoe is intended for both functional and style-conscious users and is now available at selected retailers and online.
Lacoste x Roland Garros 2025 – Between Heritage and Innovation
To mark Roland Garros 2025, Lacoste is launching a capsule collection that shines a spotlight on its historic connection to the tournament. The French label, rooted in tennis since the 1930s, combines functional materials with graphic motifs and subtle nods to its archives. The line includes both match outfits—as worn by players like Novak Djokovic and Grigor Dimitrov—and leisurewear for off the court. Once again this year, Lacoste is providing the official gear for referees, ball kids, and the entire tournament team. Roland Garros thus remains not only a sporting highlight but also an authentic stage for Lacoste.

The Old Skool 36 EK and Half Cab 33 EK are reimagined in indigo denim, featuring traditional Sashiko techniques and meticulous embroidery.
