COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS unveiled a special variation of the Air Max TL 2.5 sneaker model made in collaboration with Nike. The two present the silhouette as a part of the fashion imprint's Fall/Winter 2024 runway show where the two bring forth a technical design with a retro look.
It comes in a simple colorway palette with options of black, white, and black and white. COMME des GARÇONS describes the shoes in a press release as "One of several obscure models from the late 2000s." This nods to the idea that the shoes are truly in need of a remixed approach. The silhouette is set to drop on September 21st and can be shopped at the Dover Street Market website and store locations.
