Nike and COMME des GARÇONS BLACK Unveil a New Air Zoom Talaria
COMME des GARÇONS BLACK works in collaboration with Nike on a new iteration of the Air Zoom Talaria sneaker model. Since its re-launch a few years ago, the silhouette has been quiet since. This time around, the shoe is offered in an all-black colorway.
This joins the fashion brand's sublabel perfectly and the upper is crafted from suede materials with leather adding some textural contrast. This can be found at the toe box, the vamp, the heel, and the collar. Notably, the heel leather panel is also stamped with branding details in a contrasting stark white hue to mark the contributing efforts. Tonal stitching follows through at the side panels and at the lateral side of the shoe is a small Swoosh logo.
