The collaboration starts from New Balance’s 1890, a model that keeps the brand’s core design language while experimenting with exposed technical elements, and gives it a more polished treatment suited to COMME des GARÇONS HOMME’s tailored sensibility.The apron upper is the biggest change to the 1890 template, and it shifts the shoe’s overall character. The construction wraps the forefoot in a single, clean section that echoes classic moc-toe styling, taming the busier visual language of the original runner and giving it a sleeker profile. The result reads as a sneaker that can sit alongside COMME des GARÇONS HOMME’s workwear-leaning wardrobe as easily as it can handle a long day on foot.Comfort has been left in New Balance’s hands underneath. An ABZORB midsole handles shock absorption, while the heel is built with added structure to keep the foot stable with each step. Together, those elements push the 1890A toward everyday versatility instead of the purely technical focus of its base model.Set your reminders and get ahead of what’s dropping next on Hypebeast Drops.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
