The anticipation for the latest collaborative sneaker release between Japanese clothing brand COMME des GARÇONS HOMME and New Balance has been mounting since its initial tease during the JUNYA WATANABE MAN Fall/Winter 2023 collection. The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 1906R collaboration is almost here, and they are as collectible as they can get.
The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 1906R collaboration is not just another release; it’s a statement piece that combines the classic retro feel of the 1906R silhouette with a touch of high-end fashion in two monochromatic palettes, offering both a pristine white colorway and a sleek all-black option. The predominantly white sneaker features an intricately detailed white upper paired with an all-black heel cage and sole unit. Meanwhile, the all-black variant is monochrome throughout, with only the branding standing out. Both showcase the signature COMME des GARÇONS HOMME branding on the tongue and sock liner.
The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 1906R sneaker’s exclusive launch is set for November 17th, with initial reports suggesting that the release will be exclusive to Japan through COMME des GARÇONS HOMME, Dover Street Market, and other authorized retailers. It’s expected to retail for around $308 a pair.
