Lacoste × UFO361

DECEMBER 20, 2022 → WORDS ADRIÁN GOMIS EXPÓSITO

The legendary brand Lacoste, with its authentic sports heritage and unmistakable identity, collaborates with one of Germany’s most iconic artists within the music industry, UFO361.

Springing from Kreuzberg, Berlin, UFO361 hung out at the famous area and subway station Kottbusser Tor where dreams of being independent, highly successful, and making his family proud made him determined to work hard to make his dreams come true. For him, Lacoste has always represented that success he’s been working so hard for, with the huge influence and the incredible style the brand has, so he had the desire to own someday the brand’s most iconic piece - the Lacoste Polo.  

From the day he accomplished his wish of buying his first Lacoste Polo, today he sees his very own Lacoste collaboration displayed in the exact same boutique where he purchased that first Polo he had to save money for at Berlin’s famous high-end shopping street Kurfürstendamm.  

UFO361 celebrates international success but still keeps Lacoste really close to his heart as it always reminds him of his roots and the big dreams he had as a kid. 

The Lacoste × UFO361 collection features a tracksuit, a sweatshirt, a hoodie, a long sleeve, and of course the iconic polo shirt, whose designs enclose various hidden messages and details referencing various places and areas in Berlin. Through these details, UFO361 pays homage to the most important parts of the vibrant town that shaped him, both as an artist and as a person while growing up. 

The letter “U” is seen across various garments, the symbol of the German subway system, also standing for the artist’s name UFO361, as well as the number 361, representing his hometown. 

Lacoste × UFO361 is a very limited collection, only presenting 36+1 pieces of the tracksuit and 361 pieces of the other products, all of them available at selected Lacoste boutique stores in Germany.
