2023 Paris Fashion Week kicked off with plenty of up-and-coming labels as well as the old guard showcasing their Fall/Winter 2023 seasonal collections. With this, we also get first glimpses of collaborative efforts from streetwear, sportswear, and high fashion combined. Continuing off the duo's NB 550 collab from earlier in 2022, COMME des GARÇONS HOMME and New Balance are now working on the recently revived New Balance 1906R.
Showcased in a “Black” and “White” colorway, typical CDG design details of neutral colors and simple changes are present as the sneakers don’t receive a massive overhaul. Instead, CDG adds small branding details to the top of the tongue in an inverted shade for each respective colorway while covering the sneakers in premium leather throughout its triangular overlays. On the base layer, a thick, almost ballistic-style mesh takes over. While the “Black” colorway keeps things monochromatic throughout, the sole unit included, the “White” pair takes on a two-tone design as the all-white upper comes contrasted by a black sole unit.
The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 1906R Pack will release November 17, 2023 through Dover Street Market and select CDG retailers exclusively in Japan. As of now, sizing and pricing information is TBA.
