Comme des Garçons Homme Plus Unveils Air Jordan 11 Collaboration
The Air Jordan 11 has been reimagined in black and white by Comme des Garçons Homme Plus, with a campaign shot in Tokyo highlighting this collaboration. Originally designed by Tinker Hatfield and released in 1995, the sneaker is known for its patent leather, which adds a touch of elegance. This partnership merges the iconic shoe with Rei Kawakubo's distinctive architectural tailoring, showcasing her fashion paradoxes. Kawakubo established the brand in Tokyo in 1969, launching Homme Plus in 1984. For Autumn/Winter 2026, the AJ11 features a sleek yet glossy design, incorporating full-grain and patent leather, debossed branding, and 'Homme Plus' on the tongue. Goldie Williams Vericain's photography captures architectural contrasts outside the Aoyama flagship.
