The details of the new design truly decorate the entirety of the shoe with COMME des GARÇONS touches. It boasts a slim silhouette and flat-sole unit and Nike also features the 'Market Market' print throughout the sneaker as a nod to the pop-up store's name: Black and Pink Market Market. From the only image that has been released of the shoe, it looks like it rests on top of a clear gum sole unit foundation. This supports a stealthy upper of smooth black leather details.
