Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Foamposite: A basketball sneaker with a Japanese look

All information about the Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Foamposite sneaker

In the meantime, many sneakers that are worn and celebrated by NBA fans in particular are also immensely popular here in Germany. Silhouettes like the Air Jordan 1 or Kobe X Elite are worn, traveled and loved by many fans in this country. But one of the most popular American phenomena of all things didn't really want to ignite with us up to now. (By the way, you can also find other cool sneaker releases that you can't miss here in the GQ trend radar.)

We're talking about the Nike Air Foamposite, which has occasionally caused riots, kilometer-long campouts and mass hysteria in the United States, but so far hasn't seemed to appeal to the aesthetics of German sneakerheads. Now, however, Rei Kawakubo and her brand Comme des Garçons have presented an interpretation of the basketball sneaker that will also find fans off the court.

This is the look of the Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Foamposite

Typical for a Nike x Comme des Garçons collaboration, the sneaker appears in the two monochrome colorways white and black. Rei Kawakubo announced the two colorways of the Air Foamposite One in January 2021 in Tokyo during the Comme des Garçons Homme Plus Show under the theme “Darkroom”. For the entire collection, Kawakubo worked in her own darkroom to sharpen her senses and search for something new. This journey through the darkness also led to the two new Nike Air Foamposites.
