Two of the most joyous things in my life, Food and Coq

Le coq sportif, that is.

Speaking of, the team has recently collaborated to create The LCS R800 Hummus with the team at Sneakerbox TLV to mark their 7th anniversary.

Inspiration

To give these sneakers a truly Middle Eastern feel and international appeal designer Sagie Maya took inspiration from one of his  and our favourite dishes: hummus.

Hummus is an integral part of the landscape, as much as beaches and nice cold beer.

It was over there that Sagie Maya drew inspiration for the LCS R800 Hummus.

Design & Textile

The shoe is made from premium materials in different colours and textures, in tones that perfectly match the shades of a plate of hummus. The elegant green suedette evokes the colour of parsley, and the burgundy that of paprika, while the nubuck and beige linen are reminiscent of hummus.

Three pairs of laces, one green, one ochre and one paprika, offer three colour combination options, while the insole replicates these 3 colours at the front of the foot.

On the tongue, as well as on the box and dust bag, the two logos come together as one: the SneakerBox wings appear on the sides of the le coq sportif triangle.

Packaging

For the box, Sagie has opted for Eastern patterns and colours, giving this limited edition model a special and authentic vibe.
