FOAM des GARÇONS

“The hood fashion n*ggaz are going to love these!” is what the designers of this otherworldly sneaker collaboration thought when they visualized its conception. Alright, that scenario probably did not occur. However, the masterminds behind the Comme des Garçon HOMME PLUS x Air Foamposite One were definitely aware of the frenzy it would cause in the streetwear and high fashion realm. 

The two juggernaut brands have joined forces in the past, but their latest venture truly reimagines the Nike Air Foamposite One (synonymous with basketball legend Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway) like we’ve never seen before. Its traditional upper molding containing vertical ribs is discarded and replaced with an...artsy circular pattern that only CDG can conjure up. Furthermore, the forefoot’s itty-bitty swoosh branding remains in the same position, while COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS text is seen on the black and white iteration of the beloved kicks. 

The CDG Homme Plus x Nike Air Foamposite One were unveiled as part of the label’s Fall/Winter 2021 show. We can expect a release date for these bad boys later this year.
