CdG Has Nike's Skate-tastically Flat Sneaker Covered (Literally)
COMME des GARÇONS is hosting an exclusive pop-up event for a few of its sub-labels. At the event, a limited Nike Field General 82 sneaker collaboration will be up for grabs.
BLACK COMME des GARÇONS is literally all over the Nike Field General 82 sneaker. The slimmed-out, flat-soled Nikes feature this "Market Market" print throughout the shoe, reiterating the pop-up store's name, "Black and Pink Market Market."
There are only a few photos of the all-over patterned Nike Field General sneaker collaboration. But from the looks of it, the shoe also features a see-through gum sole and smooth black leather accents. Notably, it also arrives alongside an interesting, over-accessorized CDG x Mizuno shoe.
Nike's Field General 82 sneaker returned to the shoe game earlier this year as a more lifestyle-oriented Swoosh shoe with sporty roots. The sneaker has seen a slew of general release colorways, including Gazelle-like outfits, but it hasn't received as many team-ups.
This isn't necessarily such a bad thing. 'Cause when we do get a collaboration, there are textural makeovers by Union or, in the latest case, CdG adding its touch to the Nike classic (more like, all over it).
BLACK COMME des GARÇONS' Nike Field General sneaker will drop at CdG's Black and Pink Market Market store in Harajuku starting November 2, acting as a sort of small-scale version of the famed "Market Market" archive sales that CdG-aligned retailer Dover Street Market hosts only every so often.
At this sale, for instance, shoppers will only be able to find clothing and accessories from BLACK COMME des GARÇONS, CDG, PLAY COMME des GARÇONS, and THE BEATLES COMME des GARÇONS.
If you're a CdG fan planning to be in Tokyo around early November, it's your lucky week.
