Nike’s Thinking Pink (& Black CdG) for Its Elderly Running Shoe
COMME des GARÇONS takes a brief intermission from its usual black-and-white sneaker collaborations to cook up a pink (and black) Nike sneaker.
The newest team-up is actually a collaboration with BLACK COMME des GARÇONS, one of the brand's many sub-labels, which has left its literal stamp on Nike classics before.
Black CdG's latest project includes Nike's LD-1000, a mega-classic running model which was revived through a Stüssy collaboration in 2024.
Nike's elderly running shoe has enjoyed several stylish spins during its revival era. Now, it's getting the CdG treatment.
The collaborative LD-1000 features quality black mesh and velvety suede overlays, topped with pretty pink leather touches. It basically follows the same color scheme as one of the 2018 CdG x Nike Air Max 180 sneakers.
But this isn't the end of CdG's signature black and white spins. Not at all. The brand's upcoming Air Jordan 11 sneakers are business as usual (and also the model's first-ever collaboration).
However, regarding BLACK CdG's Nike LD-1000, this collab is expected to drop sometime in 2026 on Nike's website.
It's unknown whether there are any additional pink colorways for CdG's shoe, but for now, we have these nice "Spirit Pink" pairs.
