The modern sneakerhead scene is sufficiently robust to support a huge variety of both new and old models, which are coming from an increasingly wide range of sources thanks to some of our nearly forgotten favorites coming back around.

The Le Coq Sportif Eclat is a good entry point for newbies to the brand, its quintessential ’80s running silo crafted in suede and nylon and set apart from the pack by the rooster-pyramid branding. Let us know which style you like best after examining more photos below, and get ready for these to arrive at select retailers like Crooked Tongues later this week.
