Founded in 1999 with a Junya Watanabe-designed Zoom Haven, Nike x Comme des Garçons is the enduring partnership between the American sportswear titan and Rei Kawakubo’s Japanese avant-garde house. Far from a standard logo-slap exercise, the collaboration is revered for treating Nike’s archival silhouettes as sculptural canvases, often debuting them on Paris Fashion Week runways before they hit the streets.
