Dubai, UAE (August 19, 2015) Start the school year with Le Coq Sportif shoes from the colorful FW15 kids collection! THE FRENCH SPORT BRAND Le coq sportif was founded 130 years ago, in 1882, in Romilly-sur-Seine near Troyes, France’s knitwear capital. Its earliest purpose was providing high-quality sport products for teams and individual athletes. The brand has been marked by great moments - Bernard Hinault’s five Tour de France victories, Yannick Noah’s French Open win, and Argentina’s World Cup victory in 1986, led by Diego Maradona, after Italy’s win in 1982 - that have given it lasting ties to sport. Today, le coq sportif is a clothing sponsor to athletes in its historic sports: the tricolour brand provides high-performance jerseys to the Tour de France leaders, and in January 2014 it launched a deal with French tennis player Richard Gasquet. In 2015, le coq sportif will also return to women’s tennis and top-level football. Le coq sportif designs its shoe and clothing collections with just as much care as its products designed for professional athletes, with the same touch of French elegance.
