Long before our current era of sneaker-loafers, Nike released an Air Max model with a similar sensibility that has since been all but forgotten. It’s now coming back in collaboration with Comme des Garçons — with a change in materials to make it even more loafer-like.

The Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Max Dolce arrives in all-black with a patent leather vamp replacing the rubber web used more than 20 years ago. Its sidewalls, which features a series of furrowed arrows pointing to the heel, also appear to have been altered with a heartier rubber, while leather now sweeps around the collar. Keeping with the sleek changes, the heel Air Max unit is no longer translucent and instead rendered opaquely in black.

Branding then arrives with “Comme des Garçons Homme Plus” stamped into the leather tongue tag and a Swoosh formed into the glossy plastic heel.

Nike originally released the Air Max Dolce in 2002 with a molded Phylon upper containing an inner sleeve. Calling it a cult classic would be an overstatement, but it’s occasionally popped up on lists of obscure sneakers or suggestions for models for Nike to revive. The Dolce is still certainly an oddball today, but one that appears better suited for the moment now that sneaker-loafers have had a solid proof of concept.

CDG showed its Air Max Dolce in both all-white and all-black colorways during Paris Fashion Week last summer, but official imagery has thus far only surfaced for the former.

The Commes des Garçons x Nike Air Max Dolce will likely release in the coming months. Pricing has not been confirmed, but expect a high price tag in line with the luxury brand.
