Comme des Garçons is thrilled to unveil its newest collaboration with Nike: the Air Foamposite One “Cat Eye.” This exclusive collection will debut on Friday, July 19, 2024, exclusively at Dover Street Market.

The Nike Air Foamposite One, renowned as one of Nike’s iconic sneakers, debuted in 1997 and gained prominence through Penny Hardaway. While numerous collaborations have arisen over the years, this marks the first instance where the exterior shell showcases a distinctive design.

Combining elements from its two original releases, this pair preserves its distinctive wavy, textured foam shell uppers meticulously crafted by CDG. Drawing inspiration from the original black and bone color schemes, the upper showcases a marbled fusion of both tones, creating a cloud-like effect. Encased in deep black, the sneakers feature mesh booties, rubber outsoles, and leather overlays in dark, foreboding hues. CDG branding accents the heels, while a special gold, silver, and bronze ribbon on the heel pull subtly pays homage to the Olympic spirit.

The “Cat Eye” marbled Foamposite pattern, featuring three-dimensional ripples, adorns the shoe’s forefoot and midfoot. This embossed motif introduces a fresh element courtesy of Comme des Garçons Homme Plus. Additionally, the brand’s label is embossed on the heel, providing a unique touch.

Further accents include a white stripe along the tongue and metallic pull tabs in gold, silver, and bronze positioned on both the tongue and heel. These details enrich the overall aesthetic, ensuring the sneakers command attention.

Save the date: July 19, 2024, is your opportunity to secure the exclusive collaboration between Comme des Garçons and Nike, available only at Dover Street Market. Don’t pass up the chance to own this remarkable piece of sneaker history.
