CDG x Air Foamposite One White

Part of the Fall/Winter 2021 Comme des Garçons Homme Plus collection, the CDG x Nike Air Foamposite One “White” was unveiled alongside its all-black counterpart. Rei Kawakubo reinterpreted Nike’s futuristic basketball classic, known for its bold molded shell, by applying CDG’s signature minimalist, avant-garde touch.

Design Details

• Upper: A smooth, streamlined Foamposite shell with softer, circular ripple patterns, moving away from the aggressive waves of the OG Foamposite.

• Colorway: A clean, matte triple-white finish, emphasizing shape and form rather than flashy color.

• Branding: Discreet Comme des Garçons Homme Plus text branding on the heel tab.

• Sole Unit: Standard Foamposite midsole/outsole construction, executed in tonal white for a cohesive, sculptural look.

• Fit: Full-length Zoom Air cushioning for performance comfort, with padded collar and tongue.

Why It Matters

• Represents CDG’s philosophy of abstraction and reduction, transforming a 1990s basketball icon into a quiet, sculptural sneaker.

• Released as a dual pack (Black & White) — both highly limited.

• A strong example of how high fashion intersects with sneaker culture, continuing CDG’s long-standing collaborations with Nike.
