[COMME](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-sta) des [GARÇONS Homme Plus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sense-96) works together with [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-tl-25) on a new sneaker silhouette that is set to join its Spring/Summer 2023 roster -- the Terminator High sneaker model gets a new set of colorway options. The shoes were showcased during Paris Fashion Week Men's recently.

The silhouette made its original debut back in 1985 and the three colorway palettes include black and white, blue and white, and red and white for classic looks. The shoes' uppers are made from premium leather materials that have a white base foundation. All of these are then detailed with tonal overlays including the usual Swoosh branding on the midfoot section, branding by the tongue tags, printed insoles, and more.
