Women's white Lacoste shoes: how to read the reference and which model this is

The exact model of these shoes is not confirmed: no "Tennis BASE" appears in Lacoste's professional channel, and the reference code points to the Lacoste AG-LT Lite.

There's one way to know what you're looking at: the reference code. Lacoste encodes the season, segment, model and colour in it, and this page shows you how to read it.

Specifications of these shoes

• Brand: Lacoste
• Style code: 52SFA0095-21G (not confirmed by the brand)
• Colour: White
• Segment: Women's
• Sizes: 37.5 to 41

How to read a Lacoste reference

The code has four parts, and each one tells you something. Let's break it down using this one, 52SFA0095-21G.

52: the season code. It's the same 52 carried by this autumn/winter's models; the previous season was 49.

F: the segment. F for female. On a Lacoste men's model that letter is an M: the men's Evo carries style code 52SMA0070-AB3.

0095: the model number, which identifies the last and the construction.

21G: the colour code. The brand's 21G is white on white; other codes correspond to a navy, a green or a two-tone.

What that code tells us about this model

What follows is an indication, not a certainty.

The women's Lacoste AG-LT25 Lite clay shoes in white sold through the specialist channel carry the style code 49SFA0094-21G. This pair is 52SFA0095-21G: the same colour code, 21G, and a consecutive model number, 0094 and 0095, one season apart.

Most likely they're the new season's Lite, but this is not confirmed: Lacoste doesn't publish an accessible spec sheet for this model, and no "Tennis BASE" appears in the professional channel.

What we know about the Lite, attributed to the channel

If they are the Lite, these are the figures for last season's Lite in white as published by the professional distributor. We present them for what they are: channel data for an adjacent model.

A weight of 11.3 ounces in a US size 8, about 320 grams per shoe: a genuinely lightweight build. A light, breathable jacquard upper with sock-like construction and a knitted collar that wraps the foot as you slip it on. An LSR Foam midsole, the foam the brand associates with energy return. A rubber outsole with LineGrip for multidirectional traction.

If they turn out not to be the Lite, these figures don't apply to your pair, which is why they have their own section with the source stated up front.

The AG-LT family, step by step

What really changes from one model to the next isn't the name: it's the upper and the foam. Using data from the same channel, the brand's line-up of padel shoes and tennis shoes looks like this.

The Lite is the entry step: sock-like jacquard, LSR Foam and not much else. It's the one that combines lightness with being easy to slip on, and the best fit for anyone who puts lightness and fit above everything else.

The Lacoste AG-LT Evo shoes are the reinforced step: they swap the jacquard for mesh with heat-sealed TPU panels and an internal cage, and the foam for EVA with a shank. They weigh more and hold the foot more; they have their own page on our website.

The Lacoste AG-LT Ultra is the competition model: PiquéWeave fabric, moulded rubber toe bumpers, a TPU heel counter, LSR Foam and a TPU plate in the midsole for maximum stability. They're the ones designed for advanced players, advanced players who want on-court performance above all, and in clay versions there are the Lacoste AG-LT Ultra clay shoes, the Lacoste AG-LT Ultra clay court and its colourway AG-LT Ultra clay court blue; from earlier seasons you'll also see the AG-LT23 Ultra.

And the Pro sits at the top: a TPEE and recycled polyester upper with abrasion-resistant PiquéWeave, a moulded KPU toe cap, Coolmax lining, a dual-density LHR midsole with an internal TPU clip and a reinforced nylon shank. It's the premium, top-quality range, for those who want speed in every movement.

In short: Lacoste offers four steps and, if these are the Lite, you're buying the first one, the lightest and the simplest.

What ISN'T an AG-LT: don't confuse it with the lifestyle models

This saves returns. The brand also sells sporty models that aren't court shoes and look quite similar in photos.

The Lacoste Neo Run shoes and the Lacoste Neo Run 2 are running-style street shoes: a smooth outsole with a different pattern, no lateral reinforcement and no grip designed for braking sideways. The Lacoste Super and the Lacoste Power Serve shoes are something else again: the Power Serve is a court shoe for all surfaces, but it's a different model from this family.

If someone sells you a Neo Run to play in, it'll last you two months and you'll slip on the first cross-court shot. The AG-LT is the court family.

What "for all surfaces" means

The AG-LT range is sold as footwear for all surfaces, and it's worth knowing what that means.

The multidirectional pattern changes orientation zone by zone: it gives traction when pushing forward and grip when braking on changes of direction. On sand-filled artificial grass it works well; on clay courts it performs less well than a dedicated herringbone sole for that surface, and that's what the brand's clay versions are for.

What you gain with a versatile outsole, without overcomplicating anything: a single shoe for the club, for a fast court and for every weekend match on a different surface. What you lose: a little of the peak performance on each of them.

White: what you need to know before buying

A white pair on a sand-filled artificial grass court gets dirty, and it's better to say so before rather than after.

Silica dust is pale and works its way into the seams and stitching of the upper. It comes off with a dry soft-bristled brush, never with the shoe wet: with water, the sand turns to mud and gets into the fabric.

And the side stitching, on a light jacquard, is the first area to turn grey. Changing-room tip: brush them dry after playing and keep them out of the racket bag, because rubbing against the bag is what ends up greying the white.

What isn't stated

Nothing official has been published for this model: no weight, drop, last, composition, cushioning figures, nothing on whether the insole is removable, and no European size chart. And the exact model is not confirmed, as explained above.

Nor is there anything that would let us attribute reactive cushioning or a reactive Pebax-type foam to it: that appears in other ranges and other brands, and we're not going to copy it here. No advanced technology, explosiveness or explosive first step is stated either: those are catalogue words, not data.

Who are these shoes for?

• Anyone looking for a pair of shoes at the entry point of the range, with enough lightness and stability.
• Anyone who prefers a knitted upper that slips on easily and gives a comfortable fit from day one, with comfort and a design free of hard edges, over stiff panels.
• Players who want the brand's classic white and an unmistakable sporty style, accepting the upkeep a white shoe needs on a sandy court.
• Anyone who plays on different surfaces and wants comfort and support in a single versatile outsole, with good court contact.
• Anyone looking for footwear that's versatile and comfortable for the club.

Who they're not for: if you need maximum lateral support or precision in every movement at top-of-the-range level, the entry step isn't for you.

Frequently asked questions

Are they the AG-LT Lite or the Tennis Base?

It is not confirmed. The code points to this season's Lite, and so does the web address; the page title says something else.

What European size should I order?

They run from 37.5 to 41 and there's no official chart published.

Are they for padel or just tennis?

The AG-LT family is a court shoe for any surface, and it's the one the brand sells for playing. They work on sand-filled artificial grass.

How do I clean the white?

A dry soft-bristled brush and, if needed, a barely damp cloth. Never the washing machine: the heat lifts the adhesives on the upper.

How much do they weigh?

It isn't stated for this model. According to the channel, last season's Lite weighed 320 grams per shoe in a size 8.

Are they comfortable straight away?

A knitted upper usually needs less breaking in than mesh with panels. But without an official spec sheet, the underfoot feel is not confirmed.
