The Premier Heels originally made their debut during the COMME des GARÇONS Fall/Winter 2021 show titled 'Landscape of Shadows.' The show itself is a high-fashion take on Nike's 1992 Premier silhouette. The result is like a cross between [football boots and heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70-wedge) in a sleek black and white color scheme. The kicks also include quilted stitching across the upper and a dramatic Swoosh that adds contrast on either side. And of course, the kitten heel-like sole gives the wearer a little extra height for a full high-fashion look. The COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Premier will set you back just over $600 USD and are already selling fast.
