Sneakerhead or not, this sneaker drop is one for the books. Since the first Foamposite collaboration in 2021, this iteration is set to be a little different.
Comme des Garçons has consistently put its signature spin on iconic Nike silhouettes—Air Max 97, Air Peg 2K5, Air Max Sunder, (and allegedly Air Max TL 2.5 soon, following its preview at its HOMME PLUS Fall/Winter 2024 show during Paris Fashion Week). Now, the Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Foamposite One 'Cat Eye' only heightens the wave.
The basketball model uses the same specialised mold of its debut to create a full foamposite construction, where the body sports a rippled texture that supposedly takes after Japanese Zen gardens. Instead of a singular primary colourway however, the fresh mix of black and grey this time makes the wave patterns ever more pronounced. Kinda like a slick oil spill if you ask me.
The lace and sole remains a clean jet black, allowing the not one but two tabs to pop. Located on the tongue and heel, the tabs are striped with gold, silver, and bronze in tribute to—you guessed it—the upcoming summer Olympics. Probably a wiser choice than a motif of five-hued rings.
Athlete and trainer Claire Prince fronts the campaign by photographer Anthony Geathers, shot in NYC. And to no one's surprise, it's in black and white.
The pair is available in US men’s sizes 5-13 and US women’s sizes 6.5-14.5; retailing at SGD445 in store and online at Dover Street Market. Otherwise, at all your trusty resellers. You know the drill.
Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Foamposite One 'Cat Eye' drops 19th July exclusively at Dover Street Market Singapore and on the DSMS E-SHOP.
Dwyane Wade—the NBA luminary with 13 All-Star appearances and three championship victories knows about baller pieces. He was recently spotted in Miami, donning Aequa & Co.'s Thick Curb Chain, which paired well with his refined, silky floral prints for a relaxed and confident vibe. A relative newcomer in the world of Aequa & Co. caught the eye of Wade, as well as the attention of the fine jewellery world.

Departing from the conventional, Aequa & Co.'s artisans (who hailed from esteemed maisons like Cartier and BVLGARI) are pioneering a daring renaissance. Mixing each creation with raw innovation and artistic freedom, you get an exhilarating departure from the safe confines of traditional labels. It's a contemporary collection resonating with potency, adaptability and genuine opulence.
Crafted exclusively from premium, ethically sourced materials—ranging from 14K to 18K solid gold, natural diamonds, pearls, and gemstones—Aequa & Co. caters to the discerning tastes of the modern man. It yields sophistication and yet won't break the bank. Aequa & Co. can circumvent the hefty price tags by overseeing the entire production in-house and bypassing intermediaries and exorbitant markups.
