The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 860v2 sneakers have been unveiled as the reissue of an archival footwear style that will provide fashion-forward consumers with the perfect leisure option for their wardrobe.
The sneakers are characterized by their performance-driven silhouette that features the material choices toned down to give them a decidedly simpler, sleeker look. The sneakers put a grayscale, monochromatic profile in the spotlight and are paired with a mixture of embossed synthetic overlays alongside suede details that provide an additional layer of dimension to the athletic footwear style.
The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 860v2 sneakers will make their retail debut starting October 18, 2024 exclusively at COMME des GARÇONS locations and select retailers around the world.
