CROCODILE STYLE

Lacoste eyewear from Marchon unveils René Magnetic Sunglasses, a tribute to René Lacoste’s inventive spirit. The new sunglasses, which fuse sporty design with elegant style, are intended for both everyday wear as well as outdoor and indoor tennis courts. The sunglass styling is reminiscent of the iconic 1980 Lacoste 101 model.

René Magnetic Sunglasses sun lenses are offered in green mirror (ideal for clay courts) and copper or blue mirror (engineered for two-tone synthetic surfacing) for premium contrast perception and clarity. Each lens also features a silkscreen print of Lacoste’s original signature.

Standout features include telescopic temples with “Magnetic Frame” technology, offering an extendable core wire and a nonslip coating. The extendable temples also feature the brand’s signature crocodile (which was René Lacoste’s nickname) and brand name.

Lacoste ambassador and tennis champion Novak Djokovic sported the sunglasses in this year’s campaign.

Suggested retail pricing is $235.
