First previewed all the way back in June.

After almost half a year of waiting, the COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Terminator High has officially been revealed. First previewed last June in the Japanese fashion house's Paris Fashion Week showroom, the three-shoe collection is one of Rei Kawakubo's most minimalistic Nike offerings yet.

Unveiled in three classic color combinations including "Black," "Navy," and of course "Red," each palette first debuted back in the '80s, but they have now been reworked with a subtle CDG edge. Crafted from a supple full leather construction, the materials used are significantly more premium compared to conventional Terminators. Neatly aligned perforations make their way across the toebox, while a Nike Swoosh shoots through the lateral and medial sidewalls.

Underfoot, you'll find a crisp white midsole that has been specifically engineered to dominate on the hardcourt, and to round off the collab, "CDG" is printed around the heel of each sneaker, finalizing the designs.

Set to drop on April 1st, take a look at the official campaign that was curated by creative directors Ronnie Cooke Newhouse and Karl Bolander of House + Holme. Let us know which COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Terminator High you're feeling the most, and while you're here, you might as well get a sneak peek of the COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Tennis Classic!
