In a recent story, Footwear News reports on the efforts of Adidas, K-Swiss and Lacoste to prepare special retail events and products for the upcoming US Open, which will be held Aug. 26 to Sept. 8 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens. On Lacoste, specifically, they report:

Iconic tennis brand Lacoste scored a big win two years ago, when it signed Novak Djokovic as its apparel ambassador. The No. 1-ranked athlete continues to dominate on the circuit and is heading into the U.S. Open with two Grand Slam titles under his belt for this year alone (Wimbledon and the Australian Open).

At the matches in Queens, Djokovic will wear a vivid-blue Lacoste polo with black and white details, paired with black shorts.
