Joakim Noah starts the season with a giant step
The NBA season has just began and our favourite, Joakim Noah playing a pivoting role at the heart of the Chicago Bulls and not lost anytime getting himself noticed. Remember two years ago, Yannick Noah’s son a brand new member of Le Coq Sportif team joined the legendary Chicago Bulls, know the worldwide as the home of the just-as-legendary Michael Jordan.
At the end of 2007 French and International media had the chance to meet Joakim Noah in his new home of Chicago; as he played his first NBA matches. Video reminder here
Two years and three exclusive « Le Coq Sportif » models later (sneakers made exclusively for Joakim Noah) ; Joakim Noah meets with Some of the top French media. On the eve of a friendly match against Utah, Joakim talks about his close relationship with Le Coq Sportif, his father and the brand new sneaker – highly technical yet with an old-school look. The sneakers designed with the complicity of Yooks, Joakim’s nickname.
A real tribute to his father Yannick, who won Roland Garros wearing Le Coq Sportif; Joakim’s sneakers are directly inspired by the Noah Comp, the victorious tennis shoe from 1983. This inspiration means the shoes does not look like a classic basketball shoe, but rather more old school despite the number of complex technical qualities cleverly hidden in the sole of the cushion of the seemingly simple shoe.

Our Global Product Manager explains in detail the new Joakim Noah sneaker.

The wannabe fixie rider
Twitter is maybe one of the fastest growing phenomenon of the Internet of those past years. Ok, but what’s up with the fixed gear ? This is one of a kind trend we have here, it’s pretty sure that the fast growing of the fixed gear movement came thanks to the Internet.
Within about 2 years, hipsters all around the globe now want one of those mad machine. We should take note that the streets of Paris are not the one from San Francisco, you will need skills and nerves to ride down the Boulevard de Magenta in Paris during rush ours.
Is it grostesque ? No it’s Grotesk, please excuse this play on words, but he got it all and drew it with humour !

Ok this one Arndt Menke made out of wood is really crazy…

Michael Jackson & Le Coq Sportif 80’s football shirt
After hearing from numerous windows and mouths Michael Jackson’s songs this week-end, Le Coq Sportif kind of have to do an homage to the King of pop.
It has been found those improbable pictures of Michael Jackson wearing an OGC Nice football shirt in 1983. Michael had just gave birth to the top seller album of all time « Thriller » when these pictures was taken.
Sorry for the cliché, but we had to put a song from this album to go along with this post, it’s hard to choose the right one but « Wanna be startin’ somethin’ » is maybe the one that brings more joy in our head, it has this crazy rythm at end that makes you wish the song should never stop.
