COMME des GARÇONS and Nike have linked up to drop a reimagined Nike Premier, deciding to modify the iconic football boot with an unconventional – wait for it – small kitten heel.
Having debuted in the Japanese fashion label’s Fall/Winter 2021 “Landscape of Shadows”, the Premier silhouette illustrates a mix between a football boot and a sneaker, arriving in black and white colourways from the originally-introduced 1992 Tiempo Premiers. The model features quilted stitching across the leather upper, alongside a shimmering heel and Nike’s logo debossed on the rear. CdG’s logo is also printed alongside the Swoosh on the footbed.
In a time where football and fashion seem as intertwined as ever, from Balenciaga crafting its own boots to Miu Miu debuting football heels, abstract collaborations are becoming more and more common, and the COMME des GARÇONS x Nike drop seems merely a continuation of a trend that’s cementing itself in the culture of The Beautiful Game.
Priced at £475, the COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Premier is available exclusively on Dover Street Market’s website.
