The coveted Comme des Garçon (CdG) Homme Plus x Nike Air Carnivore made its first appearance during the spring-summer 2021 show held at its Tokyo headquarters. Rei Kawakubo, the fashion house’s designer, paired the futuristic-looking sneakers with equally modernistic metallic, printed, and genderless pieces from the collection. Now, months after the runway show, the footwear is made available to the market, specifically via Dover Street Market Ginza.
The CdG Homme Plus x Nike Air Carnivore comes in all-white and all-black colorways, taking a reformation of the ‘90s Nike Air Carnivore. The high-top footwear features mesh, neoprene, and leather constructions; and both iterations feature contrasting CdG Homme Plus branding on the heel and a Nike logo on the sneaker’s midfoot strap.
An expansive array of footwear collaborations are in the pipeline for the
Nike family this year, and one of the latest to be unveiled is the impending Air Foamposite One capsule with COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS. The CdG diffusion label previewed the forthcoming sneaker iterations alongside a stunning clothing collection for its subdued Fall/Winter 2021 runway show held at its Tokyo headquarters.
Much like the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS x Nike Air Carnivore installments that were teased in 2020, this duo of kicks are presented with monochromatic black and white motifs and keep the much of its respective silhouette’s materials and overall shape the same. However, where this collaboration really separates itself from any other Foamposite partnership that we’ve seen in years past is through the upper molding which rids of the traditional vertical ribs and instead opts for an intricate, almost zen garden-esque carving throughout.
