Vowels Updates Le Coq Sportif’s Wendon Sneaker Just in Time for NYFW and US Open

New York-based designer brand Vowels is teaming up with Le Coq Sportif on a new collaborative collection that features an updated take on the French firm's Wendon sneaker. The sneaker, which is at the heart of the capsule, is a refresh of Le Coq Sportif's signature shoe that was born from the running silhouettes of the 1960s. The Wendon is defined by its slim profile, which Vowels maintained for this release. However, the made-in-Japan menswear label reworked the sneaker in a new elasticated version, bringing a softer look to the timeless shoe. Other parts of the collection include a range of apparel in a black, white, and chartreuse palette threaded with a recurring botanical motif. Leading the apparel range is a black varsity jacket finished with chartreuse piping and a hand-drawn floral graphic sweeping across the back, alongside a white crewneck sweatshirt with contrast ribbing and the rooster crest. An oversized raglan tee carries the co-branded Vowels x Le Coq Sportif lockup, while a technical long-sleeve top brings the collection's floral motif across the shoulders. Wide-leg track trousers, matching shorts with tonal chartreuse trim, and a structured cap complete the range. Yannick Noah fronts the Vowels x Le Coq Sportif collection campaign.
