Story & heritage
La Tennis Bensimon is the brand's defining shoe: Wikipedia describes the label's U.S. presence through its canvas shoe collection, while Bensimon's own product page calls this lace-up version the original tennis shoe and an emblem of the Paris brand for more than 30 years.
The form keeps the brand's surplus-to-everyday spirit visible: a simple low canvas upper, rubber sole and a huge colour range rather than a technical sports silhouette.
Materials & craft
Bensimon lists the lace-up tennis with an upper, lining and insole in 100% OEKO-TEX class 100 certified cotton and a rubber outsole. The official description also says the shoes are handmade in Europe and hand-dyed in the brand's workshops in France, so slight colour variations are part of the product identity.
How to choose & style
Choose the white pair as the clean baseline for rolled denim, khakis or summer dresses; brighter colours work best when the rest of the outfit stays soft and uncomplicated.
