COMME des GARÇONS launches its own iteration of the iconic 610 sneaker model made in collaboration with New Balance. It takes the signature silhouette as the base foundation and readies for the Spring/Summer 2024 season with the help of Kids Love Gaite.
It has an all-white look throughout the silhouette with an upper that is made from a blend of premium materials including mesh, pig hide, and leather. It all rests on top of a rubber sole unit with laces over the forefoot. Branding can be seen in the form of the N logo on the lateral side of the shoe in the same tonal look and at the tongue in black for a touch of tonal contrast.
