Part of the Fall/Winter 2021 Comme des Garçons Homme Plus collection, the CDG x Nike Air Foamposite One “White” was unveiled alongside its all-black counterpart. Rei Kawakubo reinterpreted Nike’s futuristic basketball classic, known for its bold molded shell, by applying CDG’s signature minimalist, avant-garde touch.
Design Details

-
Sole Unit: Standard Foamposite midsole/outsole construction, executed in tonal white for a cohesive, sculptural look.
