COMME des GARÇONS and Salomon Sportstyle Deliver New Footwear
COMME des GARÇONS works in collaboration with Salomon Sportstyle on a new selection of footwear options designed for the Fall/Winter 2021 season. The new capsule is made up of three items in total: this includes two iterations of the XA-Alpine and one Cross silhouette.
The collaborative project spotlights the technical elements that are true to Salomon's aesthetic and the minimal design language of COMME des GARÇONS. This results in a range of minimal pieces that made their debut on the runway. The shoes are rooted in stable design and supportive construction prepared for mountainous adventures. The high-top designs are offered in black or white complete with a protective layer at the exterior. The Cross features houndstooth patterning at the upper.
