Minimal Monochromatic Collab Sneakers

New Balance and COMME des GARÇONS HOMME Drop a CT300 Shoe

— April 8, 2022 — Lifestyle
COMME des GARÇONS HOMME works in collaboration with New Balance on a new iteration of the lifestyle sneaker - CT300. The silhouette takes on a minimal color palette of black and white with white mesh textile making up the base foundation of the sneaker and it is overlayed with luxe white leather with a slightly grained texture.

This continues with a perfectly stitched branding on the mid-panels that read 'N.' Branding of COMME des GARÇONS HOMME marks the contrasting heel in black with white blocked capital letters reading 'CdGH." The rest of the shoe includes the nylon tongues as a premium touch, raw edges for an unfinished aesthetic, a white sole unit, and a New Balance label.
