COMME des GARÇONS has teamed up with Nike on a collaborative high-top sneaker collection called the CDG x Nike Terminator High. The collection was unveiled with three different colorways for consumers to choose from black, navy, and red. Both brands have worked together before, and previously they released the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS x Nike Air Sunder Max in 2022.
All sneakers in the collection are made of premium leather and designed in a white base. In a high-top sneaker model, the overlays, branding logos, and heels are in different colors. The branding logo on the sneakers is fairly simple, with the Nike branding logo placed on the lateral sides. In addition, COMME des GARÇONS' iconic "CDG" logo is placed on the left heel, and the right heel has the Nike branding logo spelled out. The collection will be available for $235 on April 1.
