Both colorways will come in men’s and women’s sizes! So you can grab either design, or both, for your rotation.

The Comme des Garçons x Nike Dunk Low is the latest high fashion take on the silhouette, stripping down the sneaker to create a whole new look.
We first got a glimpse of the Comme des Garçons x Nike Dunk Low in October 2019, during Paris Fashion Week. It got quite a lot of attention for resembling the Dior B23 – a sneaker that also played with translucent uppers and monochrome prints. This time, images from @solebyjc give us a closer look at two colorways of the Comme des Garçons x Nike Dunk Low.

We’ve known from previous leaks that both sneakers will have synthetic uppers set atop black midsoles. One colorway will be for men and the other for women. The men’s colorway is much bolder, with letter monograms scattered all over the uppers. The women’s colorway is more muted, with minimalistic color blocking that plays with blacks and greys.

Both sneakers get massive alterations at the hands of CDG. The padded tongue is flattened, and the layers of padding normally seen around the heel is removed. The uppers are now constructed out of a thin synthetic material – a departure from the layers of leather seen on traditional Dunks. Sections of the uppers are raised or colorized to recreate the look of the panels, retaining some resemblance to the classic skate sneaker. At the heel of both sneakers are leather tabs that have the Nike branding embossed on them.

The air jordan 4 royalty is slated to drop at Dover Street Market Singapore. However, due to the developing Covid-19 situation, the drop date has not been confirmed. Stay tuned for updates.
