A Fusion of Fashion and Manga
The capsule collection features seven distinct pieces, each artfully integrating elements from One Piece. The lineup includes hoodies, T-shirts, a polo shirt, socks, and a cap, all adorned with designs that pay tribute to Oda’s unique artistic style. A standout feature of the collection is the playful black-and-white crocodile graphic, which pays homage to Lacoste’s signature logo and draws inspiration from a T-shirt worn by a character in chapter 1106 of the manga.
Originally featured on the manga’s cover page, the character’s white T-shirt with a crocodile motif and “LACOSTA” lettering has been adapted to align with Lacoste’s branding, resulting in a playful and stylish reinterpretation.
Design Details and Exclusive Releases
Some pieces in the collection feature Oda’s distinctive interpretation of the crocodile motif, while others prominently display a monochrome imprint of the chapter 1106 cover page illustration. This fusion of manga art with Lacoste’s classic design elements creates a visually striking and culturally rich collection.
The collection will be priced from ¥3,300 to ¥33,000 JPY (approximately $22 to $216 USD), making it accessible for a range of budgets. The collection will first be available for purchase on Lacoste’s website starting August 2. Following the online launch, select Lacoste stores will begin rolling out the collection on August 6. Notably, certain items such as the hoodie, socks, and cap will be exclusive to Japan and released in limited quantities.
