Converse Comme Des Garçons
COMME DES GARÇONS: THE HISTORY OF THE JAPANESE LABEL
The history of Comme des Garçons begins in Tokyo in 1969. A young independent designer, Rei Kawakubo made her name in Paris in the early 80s through several controversies around her predominant use of black and of fabrics unusual for the time. Her asymmetrical, monochrome style became the designer's trademark. The nonconformist DNA of the Japanese label would win over Yohji Yamamoto, the renowned Japanese designer who would become Kawakubo's mentor. Nearly half a century later, CDG stands as the greatest name in Japanese fashion and keeps surprising through its ever more original designs and cuts. Today American celebrities such as Travis Scott and Rihanna proudly wear vintage runway pieces.
CONVERSE COMME DES GARÇONS PLAY
In 2002, the Japanese designer teamed up with the Polish designer Filip Pagowski to create her brand-new streetwear line “Comme des Garçons PLAY”. Its distinctive feature rests on the iconic red heart logo created by Pagowski. For this collection, the creative duo reinvented everyday basics: sweatshirts, T-shirts and jeans, to name only those. Quite naturally, PLAY teamed up with the most obvious brand for a casual look: Converse. The two then decided to draw on the archives of the Converse Chuck Taylor and took up the retro design of the editions released in the 70s, keeping the chunky rubber sole.
CONVERSE COMME DES GARÇONS CHUCK TAYLOR 70
Between restraint, minimalist style and technical detail, this emblematic model for men and women comes in several original versions. Starting with the polka dot model, marked by its spotted pattern. In Low or High version, the trainers imagined by the Japanese label carry the red or black heart as a signature. Ideal for every season, the trainers are easy to pair and pleasant to wear. As well as being fashionable, the Converse Chuck 70 is known for its comfort thanks to its particularly supple and hard-wearing sole, like the Converse Run Star Hike.
A dazzling success, for men as much as for women, the collaboration between Converse and CDG keeps reinventing itself season after season. The revisited silhouette is today an unavoidable model of the sneakerworld, and the Converse Comme des Garçons PLAY High comes in black, white, blue, grey or polka dot with its spotted pattern.
In 2020, the two carried the story on with the release of the Multi Heart Print Pack, made up of High and Low versions. These carry a new canvas developed exclusively for the retailer Dover Street Market. Created by Rei Kawakubo and her husband Adrian Joffe, that concept store, based in London, Tokyo, New York and Singapore, offers several designer brands, from J.W. Anderson to Balenciaga.
THE CONVERSE CDG COLLABORATION: A UNISEX AND CLASSIC SNEAKER
The Chuck Taylor High and Low from the collection Comme des Garçons Play Converse, for men and women, stand as a timeless must-have. Robust and on-trend, the All Star imagined by the Japanese label suit a masculine style as much as a feminine one. This collaboration is therefore fundamentally unisex and revolves around a casual chic look with streetwear inspirations. All the trainers in the collaboration run slightly large, so you will need to take care to choose half a size smaller than your usual size. The sneakers Converse Chuck 70s are shoes that run large.
