Comme des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo chose the Nike classic Air Force 1 in its mid-cut to create an exceptional sneaker collab
In what seems to be another piece of good news for sneakerheads in Singapore, the Nike Comme des Garcons Air Force 1 Mid will officially be launched in-store at Dover Street Market Singapore and online tomorrow. The shoes were first unveiled during Paris Fashion Week in March 2020 at the Comme des Garçons fall-winter 2020 runway show.
Comme des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo took the well-loved Nike classic and had fun with it by injecting her signature style and design elements while embracing the idea that it wasn’t possible to create something totally new. Kawakubo also chose the shoes because of how much they’re revered in the sneaker universe.
The sneakers come in two classic Air Force 1 shades: white and black. The two customised styles feature panelled cut-outs with raw edges on the shoe’s leather exterior, giving it a distinct look that also plays into the CDG’s fall-winter 2020 collection’s name, Neo Future.
