OG Post 01.21.22 //The universe that is COMME des GARÇONS is vast, with diffusions confusing the best of us — CdG SHIRT, BLACK, PLAY, HOMME PLUS — collectively known in the sneaker world as CDG. Here, it’s the HOMME PLUS division that returns to the footwear fold, celebrating the Air Max 97 in this, it’s 25th anniversary year, with not one, but two collaborative efforts on the silhouette for Fall 2022.
In stark contrast to the last CDG effort on an Air Max (the Air Max 95 from 2020) these offer a solid, clean construct, leaving the distressing to the worn-look, thick-cut overlays that are enhanced all the more when placed atop a study solid-color mesh upper. Options of washed blue and black have made themselves known at their recent runway show, the former anchored in bright whites, whilst the other opting for an all-over tonal approach.
Take a peep at these runway shots of the pairs here below, and expect to see these roll out at select Swoosh stockists this Fall. Stay tuned for more looks + release details as they arise.
