Lacoste and New Era positioned the collaboration as a contemporary golf capsule in a March 16 press rollout, highlighting a joint focus on heritage badges and sporty silhouettes. (fashionunited.uk) Product pages on Lacoste list the partnership’s headwear around New Era’s 9FORTY and 9TWENTY models made in cotton twill, with early-access drops shown on Lacoste’s app and site. (lacoste.com) Social posts and short-form videos surfaced this week showing a Slawn x Akimbo hoodie—images circulating on TikTok point to at least one graphic-weight hoodie as the capsule’s lead piece. (tiktok.com) Akimbo’s storefront and new-arrivals pages show hoodies and zip-ups in the brand’s usual $119–$190 price band, and Slawn’s own storefront updated with an “early access” signup on March 19, 2026.
