CFDA finalist in 2009, George Esquivel is now a member. For his eponymous label, he develops his collection of shoes on a small scale in a workshop in California.

Le Coq Sportif x Foot Patrol
Le Coq Sportif reissues its first running shoe, the mythical Eclat, a real vintage gem, in collaboration with Foot Patrol , the famous London based sneaker store. Launched in 1985 for true running fans, the classic line features the original logo. The combination of retro colors is reminiscent of the red, white, and blue dear to the tricolor brand, and on the tongue, Foot Patrol’s logo is subtly integrated into the legendary Coq Sportif triangle. Only 85 pairs in the world, colette exclusive for France, from the 27th February!
