The world of COMME des GARÇONS is very big. CdG's sub-labels have their own exclusive partnerships with other luxury brands, and while every collab deserves the attention, few projects manage to keep up with HOMME PLUS. The collabs with Nike are very strong and steal the show from almost every brand in the season.

Autumn/Winter 2022 could not be any different. Rei Kawakubo of COMME des GARÇONS has designed two impressive Nike Air Max 97s that will be released soon.

For a COMME des GARÇONS collab, the Nike Air Max 97s are surprisingly understated. It seems like the sneakers have a deconstructed look, but under the magnifying glass, the pairs are very clean. Right up front are leather overlays, which at first glance could be mistaken for suede. After that, the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS x Nike Air Max 97 draw the eye to the lightweight mesh and thick laces.

You won't find any co-branding or other changes directly, but you might find the details in the official images. Below, colour-matched soles then complete the look of the sneakers.

So far, we can only take a look at the runway photos of the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS x Nike Air Max 97. Official images from Nike are likely to follow in the coming months.
