Only a few can wear the golden badge of being able to have a successful crossover between streetwear and high fashion, and COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Air Max 180 Sneakers is one of them. The sneakers are a result of almost two decades of collaboration with the two luxury giants, the luxury avant-garde label COMME des GARÇONS and the sneaker king Nike, which have been teaming up for shoes with a kick of an avant-garde vibe since 1999.

It wasn’t that much of a surprise that the world was stunned with the unveiling of these bold pairs, with the expected unorthodox design that can only come out of the creative team of Rei Kawakubo, backed with the sneaker-expertise of Nike. The result? Unique interpretation of fan-anticipated pairs like the Air Max 180.

Release Date: February 1, 2018

Even before its official release date, COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Air Max 180 has been making noise after its appearance during the Paris Fashion Week 2018. A lot of sneakerheads got into the hype, making the anticipated pair highly coveted in online shopping sites like FarFetch and Ssense.

Pros

It goes without saying: these kicks are gorgeous and fabulously bold, perfect for edgy styles and collectors wanting to add something with a unique flair to their pairs. These head-turners have 3 main color combinations, with a primary feature of Laser Pink upper. If you don’t want to look invisible in a crowd, these kicks will surely get you the attention you want.

Different overlay colors of pink, black and white, plus various accents magnify the glamour of these pieces as well. Design features includes Solar Red logos, visible air sole units, and heel counters, sealing the deal on the aesthetic supremacy of the design. But what else can we expect from the two luxury brands, right?

Cons

Avant-garde style isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and we know that. Hence, it is only understandable that the design and color choices of the COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Air Max 180 can be too much for some. For hardcore fans of the Air Max 180 line, the unapologetic take on the design needs some serious apologizing to sneakerheads as well.
