Someone I know worked there for years and got out shortly after the whole supreme collaboration went down, from what they told me the brand has been rudderless for some time, zero creative direction, shitty ideas from shareholders getting priority over actual creatives… More globally the brand executives fucked up the brand image when they tried going streetwear and alienated their traditional customer base, but they also drove away streetwear people who disliked their new collabs and pieces. So now they’re in this awkward position and the suits are trying to milk the last dollars out before the brand dies.
Which one? They collaborated in 2017 and 2021.

I loved Lacoste back in the 80s and 90s.

Thrasher is too good for it though. Thrasher should be doing x Fred Perry imo. Perhaps Ben Sherman.

We need to take that shit back again. Y'all know why.

Then we could get a team together and I will be tm.
You know that would be glorious for whoever gets on.

I'd be the best TM in history because I truly give a shit about the skaters. Even if I didn't like someone in the van I'd make it work and make sure they was safe and paid.

Fred Perry team.

Ben K is on.  There's no way that could happen and he's not on. His Skinheadism is kinda watered down but a box of Fred's in every colour way but Black and Gold and a few trips to Bobby's of Boston for some vintage red line Levi and Boom!!!

Skinhead is back in fashion.

I honestly believe we can fix Skinheadism using skating and the right team.

Skinheadism It's like 60/40 rn today thanks to 80s talk shows and right winged tiki fools.

I guess I gotta incl.ude 1%ers. I fucking hate those guys. Lots of them think they skinhead but you and I know they are not.

They are in the bonehead section along side Nazi jail kooks.

What we can do is cast spells of infinite infertility on all the black and gold shirts and have a 60% off sale and finish this war.

Skinheads ride skateboards in 2023 and are not associated with these above mentioned bonehead Clica.


I forgot to mention that I'm claiming dibs on TJ Rogers. I got a special box of collared ghetto gowns for the only guy in skating who currently can hold a candle to Lou.

TJ's recent parts make all the hairs on my body stand up like his name is PJ Ladd 2022


Also Tyson and Evan are on.

Henry frickin Sanchez is on anything If I ever do become a Brand Manager.

It's hurts me to hear that Stevie is the only other dude who knows that that our Rodney frickin Mullen.

i haven't even read this post completely, but i absolutely back the fred perry thing. i love fred perry clothes.

EDIT: i read the rest and i back all this 100%

Both were bungled and stupid, I’ll try to get more comments from my buddy if there’s enough interest
Btw I’ve dunked on Lacoste a lot ITT but I genuinely appreciate their older styles and cuts, I actually own a few polos and sweaters from the 90’s and its great, I’m just miffed the brand is going down the shitter

I had a Polo Ralph Lauren boxer short in the 90s and felt sexy.

When I stopped skating and went to football games I rocked Lacoste and Fred Perry so for me that‘s more linked to the casual scene than skate scene.

Not sure what I wanted to say, the above posts just made me reminisce about fits from my past. Move on.
why come?

These are available on the lacoste site now. $198 for a hoodie, with this description: "Opt for this Thrasher hoodie, inspired by the most famous of skate shops."

Someone who skates quite possibly became a brand manager.

Also, $198 at good quality is still wayy more than a Palace or Supreme hoodie. Even an Aime Leon Dore hoodie.

This collab is clearly not for any of us.

I back Fred Perry that would be rad.

Shame the only collab was done with Thames.
I still bought those garms in like ‘15 or something haha. Before Blodney left Palace etc.

Probably got stolen by some ex.
It would fly on Vinted.

Please FP manager turn down Blokes collab if that ever happens.
video tape yourself saving monks. dont just do it. make sure its caught on film.

I actually wear some Lacoste stuff but Fuck, that shit is whack. Can’t see how either brand benefits from this shitshow. They should have low key sponsored some French rippers around 10-15 years ago. Maybe even Puig before helas.

A Lacoste shirt in my size is still buy on sight at the thrift store. I only have one still in my closet but it's gotta be 20 years old. Shit is well made.

I think a solid sign of a lazy streetwear crossover is the all over logo print so yeah this collab is pretty low effort.
them cats are out getting mashed up to jungle, he's out mashing up jungle cats. it's just not gonna work.

I'm honestly expecting drug dealers in Marseille to be rocking these 150 euros sweatpants next summer. With Versace sunglasses or some shit like that to complete the outfit.
I'll laugh so hard.
(when they're gone out of sight, I'm not stupid)

Edit:
as I was typing this I noticed the Element x Barley ad on Slap and clicked on it....it looks a 1000 times better and costs half of the Thrasher x Lacoste thing.....

There really is just no tastefull way to spin this colab. What's the point of colaborating if it just makes both companies look stupid?

Thrasher sold his image for a lot of dollars to Lacoste, I think he lost all the essence and the good work DONE BY Jake Phelps FOR MANY YEARS!! FUCK THE NEW THRASHER SHOW BUSSINES AND THEIR THRASHKardashian

I am all for combining the casual and the skateboarding culture. Casual/ultra is on of the most exciting subcultures in the last couple years anyway.

Lacoste Team
Puig
Brian Peacock
Patrick Zentgraf
Diego Najera
Theotis Beasly
Maybe Robert Neal

Fred Perry Team
Ben Kadow (I am with you on this one Uncle Flea)
bobby dekeyzer
Frankie Decker
Justin Henry
Danny Brady
Casper Brooker
Simon Isaksson

It's no rocket science.

PS You can be the team manager Flea

Jesus, couldn't they provide him with a shirt that actually fits him? At least for an official photoshoot for their site?

Then again, it's T-Puds and maybe they're aiming for...uhhh...crowd that wants to wear ill-fitting euro garms while doing lazerflips for their vlog?
