Who Picked Up A Pair Of The COMME des GAR?ONS HOMME Plus x Nike Dunk High

Who picked up a pair of the limited edition NikeLab Dunk Hi x COMME des GARÇONS “Invisible Shoes”. The released yesterday and were available exclusively at COMME des GARÇONS New York.

Speaking of the “Invisible Shoes”, heralded designer Rei Kawakubo told an unusual story to everyone in attendance at her Spring ?17 COMME des GARÇONS Homme Plus show last June in Paris. The story also happens to server as the inspiration behind the NikeLab Dunk Hi x COMME des GARÇONS collab.

A humorous nod to Hans Christian Andersen?s account of an emperor?s vain misfortune ? that he was tricked into buying and wearing ?invisible clothing,? thus exposing himself ? the collection interprets the story?s underlying contradiction of invisibility as transparency. Also explained as a take on today?s culture of information overload and over-sharing, the show provided the debut of ?invisible shoes? created with Nike, the NikeLab Dunk Hi x COMME des GARÇONS.

As most of you know by now, the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME Plus x Nike Dunk High comes with Black leather overlays paired up with a clear vamp, quarter, tongue and collar, thus revealing foam underneath the tongue and collar and of course, the socks you happened to be wearing that day. Holes on the medial quarter and vamp provide ventilation. Who picked up? Let us know in the comments below.

Nike Enlists Rochambeau To Help Introduce The New Nike Air Force 1 High Tech Craft


Update: A previous draft of this post claimed that this was a collaboration between Rochambeau and NikeLab, but i turns out that Nike instead enlisted the fashion imprint to help unveil the model at a recent runway show. The photos pictured here are general NikeLab Air Force 1 High Tech Craft colorways.

Nike is going all out for NYFW, as they’ve enlisted a who’s who of top designers to reinvent Bruce Kilgore’s iconic basketball silhouette and forever lifestyle staple, the Air Force 1. From VLONE to ACRONYM and back again, today we get a look at yet another luxurious takeover in the form of the Nike Air Force 1 High Tech Craft, recently unveiled during Rochambeau’s recent runway show.

The New York City menswear label is the first to introduce the new Nike Air Force 1 tooling, as the NikeLab helmed creation was first revealed during their recent runway show. Known officially as the NikeLab AF1 Tech Craft CMFT, the focus here is on the premium materials, as a smooth leather comes in Black for men’s sizes and a simple off-white Sail shade for women’s. Two different Jacquard-like woven toolings appear on the respective toeboxes, as a herringbone aesthetic adorns the white women’s option and a bolstered Kevlar-esque woven material hits the men’s. The ankle straps are noticeably thinner too, while new ventilated perforations land on the side panels. A deconstructed ankle collar hides a more supportive inner-bootie.

Do note that this isn’t a collaboration between Rochambeau, but rather an official unveiling with the help of the respected New York City fashion imprint. Both Nike Air Force 1 High Tech Craft pairs are slated to release as soon as February 16th at select retailers. Check out more detailed shots below and head over to our always updated Release Dates page for more.
