Comme des Garçons, also known as 'CDG,' the Paris-based Japanese fashion label, has teamed up with Vans to release a special edition Old-Skool sneaker. Vans's Old-Skool is a simplistic skate sneaker with layered leather pieces that reinforce the shoe's frame.
The 'CDG x Vans Old-Skool Sneaker' is a plain white version of the Old-Skool, with everything being white including the laces, insole, and leather frame. The toe box, heel, and section around the laces feature a darker off-white color, while the remainder of the shoe is a brighter white. The CDG branding is placed along with the midsole of the shoe in black, and the top of the midsole features a black trim.
CDG will be selling this shoe online for $145 USD at its physical stores as well as on its online platform.
