CDG showcases its upcoming New Balance 1906R collaboration at Paris Fashion Week.

2023 Paris Fashion Week has kicked off with plenty of up-and-coming labels as well as the old guard showcasing their Fall/Winter 2023 seasonal collections. With this, we also get first glimpses of collaborative efforts from streetwear, sportswear, and high fashion combined. Continuing off the duo's NB 550 collab from earlier in 2022, COMME des GARÇONS HOMME and New Balance are now working on the recently revived New Balance 1906R.
Showcased in a “Black” and “White” colorway, typical CDG design details of neutral colors and simple changes are present as the sneakers don’t receive a massive overhaul. Instead, CDG adds small branding details to the top of the tongue in an inverted shade for each respective colorway while covering the sneakers in premium leather throughout its triangular overlays. On the base layer, a thick, almost ballistic-style mesh takes over. While the “Black” colorway keeps things monochromatic throughout, the sole unit included, the “White” pair takes on a two-tone design as the all-white upper comes contrasted by a black sole unit.
The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 1906R Pack is set to release in the Fall/Winter 2023 season through CDG and Dover Street Market with a wider release through NB and select retailers not out of the question yet. As of now, sizing and pricing information is TBA. Keep it locked to our Twitter and the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
