From La Perla‘s high-end collaboration with John Paul Gaultier to the mass-retail chain H&M’s designer partnerships, everyone seems to be on a limited edition collaboration kick. The latest to join the pack is Lacoste with their just-launched Legends Project, which brings together 12 collaborators from the worlds of music, media, design, and retail to create a 12-piece shoe collection.

Fittingly the most “distinctively Lacoste” shoe is the one designed by former Lacoste design head (now Hermes creative director), Christophe Lemaire who conceived a white shoe with a thick green sole, the brand’s signature colors. The stand-out, however, was Shoes Master’s high-top black style with multiple crocodile logos on the sides, which managed to pay homage to the brand in a simple, but fun way that stayed true to both themselves and the Lacoste aesthetic.
