COMME des GARÇONS works together with Nike ACG to present a new collaborative variation of the Mountain Fly sneaker model. It is set to join the brand's Spring/Summer 2024 roster -- the minimal silhouette is defined by its large ACG branding along the upper.
Other details include the traction grippy outsole at the bottom and quick toggle laces over the forefoot to secure the foot in place. It comes in three colorway options of classic black or white with two-tonal designs and a two-tone option. Specifically, the two brands take the Mountain Fly Low 2 sneaker as the canvas, which made its first global appearance in June last year. Now, the brands are preparing the trail shoes to hit the markets in March 2024.
