The Lacoste is in month two of its three month series of sneaker releases with design inspiration from the cross cultural mythology surrounding crocodiles. As part of the May 2009 releases comes this white Missouri with small touches of a mix of colors. The sneaker takes inspiration from stories surrounding albino crocodiles in South Africa.
The sneakers have released and are available at select shops like SNS for around 133 euros.
The Lacoste Crocodile Myth Collection is a set of nine sneakers, which will release 3 pairs each month from April to June.
We previously had a look at the Lacoste Crocodile April Collection.
Now we have a preview of the May releases from the collection, which includes the Lacoste Missouri South Africa inspired by albino alligators.
Also two Lacoste Revan NYC Trainers are included because of the urban legend that holds that gators inhabit the NYC sewer system. The kicks color combos are inspired by the cities taxi and cop cars.
Look for these to release in the first week of May 2009.
In France you can find them at Colette in Paris, Shoez Gallery in Lyon, and Onze Mettres Carres in Orleans.
