At Paris Fashion Week, Comme des Garçon unveiled new collaborations, highlighting the CdG Homme x New Balance 509 sneaker. Known for pushing boundaries in sneaker design, Comme des Garçon continues to revive retro aesthetics with contemporary flair. The New Balance 509 silhouette, originally launched in the early 2010s as a high-tech running shoe, has now transitioned into a staple within the ‘dad shoe’ category. Following its first modern release last year with designer Do Hee Kim, this collaboration introduces two distinct colorways: a greyscale version featuring shades of grey accented with black, and a near-all-white option combining flat white with off-white and eggshell tones. The CdG Homme x New Balance 509 is expected to be exclusive to select CdG accounts like Dover Street Market when it releases in 2025, though specific pricing details are currently unavailable. This initiative further reinforces Comme des Garçon’s influential role in sneaker culture, teasing nostalgic designs while cementing modern relevance.
