The world of COMME des GARÇONS by Rei Kawakubo is constantly evolving and spans different lines, each offering its own aesthetic while remaining connected to the core of the brand. BLACK COMME des GARÇONS was launched in 2009 in response to the Great Recession and offers the beauty of COMME des GARÇONS at a more affordable price. The brand, which usually sticks to a monochrome palette of black, grey and white, has already collaborated with Nike and ASICS and will now team up with HOKA for TC 1.0. The BLACK COMME des GARÇONS x HOKA TC 1.0 collaboration adds gold rings to the TC 1.0, which debuted last year, and adds a refreshing new dimension to the iconic COMME des GARÇONS line.

As a foretaste of the upcoming, jointly developed model, the sneaker is presented in an all-black colourway. Special details include the two golden rings on the upper and the hidden BLACK COMME des GARÇONS branding under the tongue. It is not yet clear when the TC 1.0 will be available, but we can assume that it will be released in autumn via Dover Street Market.
