The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 550 "Black" & "White" Are Available Now

Throughout 2022, New Balance has continued to go full steam ahead with its fan-favourite 550s. Over the past couple of years, the basketball-turned-lifestyle silhouette has earned itself a permanent slot in the rotation of many—thanks to collaborations with the likes of Teddy Santis' Aimé Leon Dore and AURALEE, as well as a number of general release colourways. This time, the model has become the subject of a two-shoe project with the menswear division of Rei Kawakubo's Japanese fashion staple COMME des GARÇONS.

The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 550 "Black" and "White" is without a doubt a big must-cop for avid New Balance collectors. Both pairs arrive with the NB550's traditional shape and components: low-top profile with perforated premium leather tooling.

The colour arrangement is simple: both indulge in their titular gradient, with monochromatic accents throughout that deliver a contrasting balance. The notable element of the collection is the CdGH branding imprinted on the rear segments.

The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 550 "Black" are "White" are now available at Dover Street Market, but keep it locked for any news of a wider release.

Up next, New Balance readies its new JJJJound collab.
