1986 Le Coq Sportif Shoes
Le Coq Sportif used to be a big deal in triathlon. I’d say 1985 to 1987 was probably their peak years. They sponsored plenty of athletes. The 1985 French Grand Prix. The 1986 and 1987 European Cup Series. And the 1987 and 1988 Grand Prix in the UK. TSP4 is about that.
They were mainly known for their tri-suits and other individual triathlon pieces. Here’s the classic tri-suit. On Rob Barel. And Erin Baker.
I found this ad recently for their 1986 cycling and running shoes. Beautiful. Functional. Minimal. Would love to get hold of some.
