Paris Fashion Week always presents us with fusions in the worlds of luxury and sportswear, with Comme des Garçons x Nike a highlight of the event. While Comme des Garçons Homme previewed its take on the archival Air Rejuven8 in a White and a Black colorway and will soon release the Nike Sense 96 SP, the label previewed another archival design during this year’s PFW. Now, the Japanese fashion house is tackling the gridiron-ready Nike Field General.
Previously, Black Comme des Garçons worked with Nike on the silhouette for the Black and Pink MARKET MARKET pop-up shop in Japan, adding warped text in white across the black sneaker. It seems this work has inspired their next Field General project, as a similar warped design is applied to the graphic pattern printed atop the black leather silhouette. Here, branding for Black Comme des Garçons and a Nike Swoosh are sporadically placed in a warped appearance all over the upper and sole unit.
