COMME des GARÇONS HOMME works in collaboration with New Balance on the 574 sneaker model for the season in a triple black colorway. The muted option features monochromatic design throughout the entire model accented with special branding and a notable translucent paneling as well.
The premium shoe is made up of black leather and mesh materials across the upper with quarter paneling differentiating itself from the rest of the shoe. the slightly clear paneling is informed with synthetic ripstop materials and sits under two different branding details. The lateral side nod to both of the brands, whereas the medial side of the shoe nods to New Balance. The sneakers are now available for purchase at Dover Street Market.
