Le TIGRE Sneakers | Born In The City
Dripping with street cred, Le TIGRE sneaker is intentional about its “sport-meets-fashion” statement, delivering style, versatility, and comfort. Drawing from the energy of Le TIGRE’s sneaker has New York City roots, each of the six new shoe designs carries the name and spirit of a key part of the Big Apple. The Tompkins style, for example, serves as a nod to Tompkins Square, a vibrant park and popular gathering spot in the East Village since 1897. While the Loughlin style draws from the Bishop Loughlin High School band’s tradition of performing the Rocky theme song for three consecutive hours to inspire NYC Marathon runners each fall.
