Lacoste Ace T Design
A large TPU frame wraps the upper and is cut with diamond shapes, an approach that recalls the Nike Kobe 3. Techy mesh and canvas layers sit underneath the frame.
The midsole is more of a platform. Slanted triangle cutouts run along it to suggest forward motion.
Where Does the Tennis Ball Sit in the Lacoste Ace T?
The heel splits into a “V” to make room for the ball. It is squeezed between the bottom of the footbed and the platform.
