COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 550s Surface

The return of the New Balance 550 has been fruitful for the Boston-based brand. The hardwood classic, then known as the P550, was the perfect low-top. More than three decades after the OG P550, the silhouette continues to hone in on its perfection.

As the silhouette returned thanks to Aimé Leon Doreâ€s Teddy Santis, the 550 fervor has been non-stop. If anything, itâ€s exponentially grown. New Balance has more planned for the 550 as images of another collaboration have surfaced.

COMME des GARÇONS HOMME, a subsidiary of Rei Kawakubo prestiougs COMME des GARÇONS umbrella, is taking on the low-top. The upcoming COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 550 stays true to both brands with a minimalist approach as an all-black version with white details and accents and an all-white pair with black details and accents will headline the upcoming collab.

Both COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 550 colorways are built with 100% cowhide leather with “CdGH new balance” branding on the heels with CdG HOMME branded insoles. White midsoles and black outsoles are a constant for both pairs.

A release date for the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 550 collection has not been announced. However, we expect the colorways to release at Dover Street Market in the fall. A price point has not been announced, and a wider release is not anticipated. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.
