Rei Kawakubo, the visionary force behind COMME des GARÇONS, continues to redefine the boundaries of fashion, this time bringing her avant-garde touch to the world of sportswear. With the latest CdG HOMME collaboration with New Balance, Kawakubo injects her signature contemporary sensibility into the Made in USA 990v6 silhouette.

About the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 990v6

The partnership marries New Balance’s heritage of precision engineering with Kawakubo’s bold, deconstructed aesthetic, resulting in a sneaker that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern.

In this collaboration, the 990v6’s upper, sole, and entire design are unified in a monochrome palette, finished in stark black or crisp white. Subtle yet striking details include the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME logo on the tongue and a double-name logo on the insole, adding a touch of understated sophistication.

Release Details

Priced at 75,900 JPY (~US$511) each, the CdG HOMME x New Balance 990v6 pack is slated to launch on 21 March via COMME des GARÇONS retailers across Japan. Don’t miss out!
