The Air Jordan 1 Retro High 'Comme des Garçons Black' (2019) is a bold and avant-garde reinterpretation of the iconic basketball silhouette, created in collaboration with legendary Japanese fashion house Comme des Garçons. Originally unveiled at Paris Fashion Week in 2018 and officially released in 2019, this high-fashion iteration exemplifies Rei Kawakubo's minimalist yet subversive design ethos, seamlessly blending luxury aesthetics with streetwear heritage.
Overview
Crafted entirely in premium black leather, the sneaker features an extended height that sits higher than the traditional Air Jordan 1 High, giving it a more commanding presence. The standout detail is the metal riveted eyelets that run the full length of the ankle collar, creating a corset-like lacing system that pushes the boundaries of conventional sneaker design. Subtle co-branding is featured on the lateral heel, where the Comme des Garçons Homme Plus and Nike logos are stamped in contrasting white. The all-black colorway is elevated through the interplay of textures, combining smooth and grain leather for a layered, tonal effect. This release was part of a dual drop, accompanied by a white colorway, and was exclusively distributed through select Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market channels, cementing its rarity and exclusivity.
