BLACK COMME des GARÇONS works in collaboration with Nike on a new set of the Tennis Classic sneaker model. The versatile and sleek silhouette is made from all leather materials throughout the upper. It comes in two colorway options of either white or black for a minimal look that matches any look.
The shoes are entirely dressed in their tonal theme throughout the entire silhouette with branding in the form of the Swoosh that details the medial sides of the model and the tongue tag. Both shoes are secured with a tonal lacing system over the forefoot section and boast co-branding details on the insoles. It is rounded out by slightly distressed details by the midsoles at the front.
