About Comme Des Garçons

Founded by influential designer Rei Kawakubo, Comme des Garçons has represented conceptual, boundary-pushing fashion from Japan for decades. At the same time, the more playful PLAY line — with its heart-with-eyes logo — has made the brand widely loved and instantly recognizable.

In the sneaker world, CDG is best known for its collaborations, which give classic silhouettes a distinctive PLAY edge. Clean, recognizable and finished with that signature heart.

If you're looking for a sneaker with an iconic, playful logo and an avant-garde heritage, Comme des Garçons is a great choice. The fit often follows the original silhouette; when in doubt, check the retailer's sizing advice.
