Fashion imprint COMME Des GARÇONS SHIRT works in collaboration with ASICS on a new footwear series that highlights the GEL-LYTE V for the season. The duo joins forces and delivers a pack of shoes that stem from a monochromatic theme first and foremost.
There are three sneakers in total -- two of which are designed in a solid hue and one which is adorned with leopard prints. All three shoes share the black and white palette that makes up the entire silhouette through and through. The retro design was originally launched back in 1993 and has become a staple silhouette for ASICS since. This time, the sneakers are set to join Dover Street Market online for $299 USD.
