Comme des Garçons and New Balance announce 1890A collaboration

Comme des Garçons HOMME and New Balance are collaborating on a new version of the 1890A model, scheduled for release on November 6, 2026. The footwear is designed as a hybrid between a running-inspired sneaker and a classic loafer, featuring a suede apron upper to provide a more formal aesthetic.

The collection will be available in two colorways: Black/Charcoal and Beige/Orange. Technical features include Absorb midsole technology for shock absorption and Absorb SBS cushioning in the heel to ensure comfort for daily wear. The shoes will feature Comme des Garçons HOMME branding on the tongue and double-name logos on the inserts.

Retailers including Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market will carry the release. While specific pricing and exact release times are yet to be confirmed, one report indicates a price of approximately 64,900 yen. Sizes are expected to range from 25.0 cm to 29.0 cm.
