COMME des GARÇONS and Nike are back at it, and this time they’ve taken the Field General 82 and draped it in all-black leather, layered with warped branding that makes you wonder if your eyes are playing tricks on you. X reactions are what you’d expect: “It looks like Nike [made] a watermark design lmao,” one user wrote, while another just dropped a target emoji and called them “kinda tough fr.” This is classic COMME des GARÇONS, though. Always provocative.

The new COMME des GARÇONS BLACK x Nike Field General sticks to the label’s monochrome mantra but twists it with distorted Swooshes and BLACK branding scattered across the upper, outsole, and even the sockliner. Nothing is uniform, yet nothing feels accidental either. It’s a deliberate sense of visual fragmentation that fans of Rei Kawakubo’s aesthetic will immediately recognize. “The scattered placement of graphics… speaks to a deliberate sense of visual fragmentation—a recurring theme in COMME des GARÇONS’ larger design ethos,” explains the brand.

Honestly, it looks like a Nike zebra.

The Field General 82 was originally an American football trainer from the early 1980s. It was never meant to be anything special really, but collaborations like this one have changed all that. Past iterations, like the 2024 Japan-exclusive “Market Market” version, played with wavy logo patterns and translucent gum soles. This fall, the focus shifts from typographic abstraction to pure visual disruption, turning the silhouette into something experimental.

The all-black construction makes the chaotic white motifs pop, giving the sneaker a sharp, layered feel. Leather overlays sit atop textile underlays, midsole and tread are blacked out, and every logo, Swoosh, and typographic curve feels calculated.

CDG rarely stops at just one colorway. So you can probably expect an inverted white-and-black version sooner rather than later. As for availability, the COMME des GARÇONS BLACK x Nike Field General 82 will land on September 11, 2025, through Dover Street Market and the DSML E-SHOP, priced at $160 for the sneakers. Men’s sizes run US 5.5 to 13, with accompanying apparel priced separately.
