Collaborative Custom Leather Shoes

COMME des GARÇONS and Nike Join on a Air Force 1 Mid Model

— March 2, 2020 — Fashion
Joining forces for the collaborative efforts for Paris Fashion Week includes fashion label COMME des GARÇONS and sportswear brand Nike -- the duo unveil a pair of Nike's Air Force 1 Mids in a captivating design. The two talents inform their design language onto the familiar silhouette. It is constructed from premium leather materials and has COMME des GARÇONS branding details across the custom-made strap that is wrapped around the ankle.

At the iconic Swoosh on the side that nods to Nike, it adds additional materials to give it an exaggerated look. This same dramatic effect continues across the model seen on the toe box, the laces, heel, and the strap. To showcase this, there is excess leather added instead of the frayed detailing. The shoes will be available in black and white.
