Comme des Garçons Homme and New Balance announce 1890A collaboration

Comme des Garçons Homme New Balance 1890A sneaker collaboration footwear design

Comme des Garçons Homme and New Balance are set to release a collaborative sneaker featuring the 1890A model on November 6, 2026. The collection includes two colorways: a black version with matching tooling for a monochromatic finish, and a tan version featuring an orange sole.

The 1890A design modifies the standard New Balance 1890 silhouette by combining the original 2002 sole unit with a new upper. The design incorporates moc-toe construction and gathered stitching, blending traditional footwear elements with running-shoe technicality. This approach aims to align the sneaker with the tailored and workwear influences of the Comme des Garçons Homme label.

Both pairs will be available through Comme des Garçons and select retailers, such as Dover Street Market.
