COMME des GARÇONS PLAY released its latest sneaker collab with Converse

It isn’t the first time COMME des GARÇONS has collaborated with American shoe company, Converse. In fact, it’s been 10 years since the two have collaborated on the Jack Purcell.

This year, both labels are back with new reiterations of the classic silhouette. The Japanese brand Comme des Garçons, helmed by avant-garde designer Rei Kawakubo, has introduced new designs to the line — and they make the perfect must-haves if you’re looking to elevate your everyday wear. The original classic silhouette remains, however, the shoe has been remastered for stability, comfort and fit with a cushioned sock liner and insole and a high traction herringbone rubber sole. The new sneakers will also sport the iconic oversized heart logos on a new shade of coloured canvas – Silver Filigree.

Just when you thought ASICS was going to stop with its latest three collaborations — you thought wrong. This time, the label is partnering Kiko Kostadinov and have introduced four curated styles to the collection. Kiko Kostadinov is otherwise known as the London-based Bulgarian fashion designer and is the creative director of his eponymous label that’s centred around contemporary workwear. Here, Kiko has reimagined a series of ASICS footwear offerings that draw design inspiration from the concept of “Retro Futurism”. In this case, the collection dives into two categories, namely Future Tech and Sustainability which explores ASICS’ iconic silhouettes. The four styles include the HS1-S TARTHER™ BLAST ($189), HN1-S GEL-VENTURE™ 7 ($109), FN1-S GEL-NIMBUS™ 22 ($259) and FN2-S GEL-CONTEND™ 5 ($109).

Available in-store at ASICS and online at asics.com. Prices range from $109 to $259

Since its epic success from its first collaboration back in 2019 — GEL-DS™ TRAINER OG “Muay Thai — ASICS has teamed up with CARNIVAL again to launch a reinterpretation of its classic silhouette that’s inspired by Thailand’s very own Siamese Fighting Fish.

Next up on the list is none other than ASICS collaboration with South Korean fashion brand Andersson Bell. If you love the brand’s signature GEL-1090™ that was launched back in 2003, then you’ll be glad to know that this collection will see new colourways for you to choose from such as Black/Silver, Glacier Grey/Silver and White Orange. What many love about this sneaker is that it boasts a sporty and modern flair with striking, bold details that will instantly elevate any look.

Back by popular demand, ASICS has just released another collaboration with Vivienne Westwood. The collection is inspired by Vivienne Westwood and (Malcolm) McLaren’s controversial 1974 collection ‘SEX’.

Drawing strength from long-lasting quality of design and materials, the sharing of these design  philosophies between the two brands have formed the inspiration for this on-going design collaboration.

Within this collab, you can expect 3 different contrasting colourways to choose from including black, lilac and orange.

V.I.Ps (by that, we mean Big Bang fans), get your wallets ready because G-Dragon is collaborating with Nike once again for a sneaker collab. Last year, the Big Bang leader and the sports brand launched Nike Air Force 1 “Para-noise” to much fanfare. This year, they’re launching the same sneakers, albeit in a reverse colour scheme: the white upper gives way to his painting. Of course, it will still retain its self-expressive character. In the words of G-Dragon, “Even though everything is uncertain these days, we shouldn’t stop expressing ourselves as the way we are, and creating our own world.”

The Nike x G-DRAGON AF1 “Para-noise” releases globally on November 25 on Nike.com for $279.

After collaborating with Dior, the next collab on Nike’s list is Comme des Garçons. The sportswear brand is collaborating with the fashion label for Nike Comme des Garçons Air Force 1, which was released in-store at Dover Street Market Singapore and on the DSMS E-SHOP on October 23. The silhouette is clean and simple, and is perfect for those who are looking for versatile shoes you can wear anywhere with any outfit. It comes in two colours, black and white, and are available in US women’s sizes 5-7.5 and men’s sizes 8-13.

Nike Comme des Garçons Air Force 1 retails for $470.

Palm Angels has once again collaborated with Clarks Originals for a new casule collection. This time round, Palm Angels’ Francesco Ragazzi reinterpreted Clarks Original’s iconic shoes, the Wallabee. The women’s version comes with rubber wedges and fringes for a fashionable spin on a classic design.

You can never go wrong with a pair of black sneakers – it’s perfect for work (on Fridays) and the weekends. Rock it with a black pantsuit for gravitas, or with a yellow summer frock for brunch. It’ll drop in stores on Sept 3.

We can never get enough of this colour combo (red, white and blue). Let this baby pop by wearing it with a black number, or with a maxi dress that sports the same three hues as the sneakers.

Do colourblocking in a more subtle way by pairing these with a grey off-shoulder top and a light denim jeans.

Let these be the centre of attention by complementing it with a simple a black or white dress.

If you’re brave enough, go all out and match this with all the other items from this bold collection.

The shades of brown go best with other neutral pieces, such as a camel two-piece suit.

Contrast this boyish-looking pair with a girlie number.

The red’s attention-grabbing enough, so tone it down with a black ensemble.

A tinge of yellow adds a dash of fun to this pair of neutral sneakers.

Available at Saint Laurent

There’s a reason why the Triomphe is one of Celine’s most popular models: it’s classic, versatile, and makes for a solid investment.

Pastel is still on point, and this is the perfect pair to complete that sweet and girlie look.
