Nike continues to mine its archives, and this colorway brings a more sinister edge to do so. Coming this Summer 2026, COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS will resurrect the Air Max Dolce with a sinister trimmed-down finish we feel is right at home.
Nothing is overly worked on this release, yet still packs a punch. Glossy patent leather takes over the toe, tongue vicinity, and select parts of the heel while smooth black leather comprises everything else. Keeping this ratio makes the sneaker not feel too flat despite remaining fully blacked out.
The Air Max Dolce stood out amongst others when it was initially released back in 2002. The laceless construction, grooved out sides, and oversized Air unit gave the silhouette an overall weird aesthetic. That same offbeat design language is what makes this comeback feel interesting now.
COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS keeps its touch fairly subtle. The branding lands on the tongue and insoles, while the overall shape does most of the talking. Other colorways have been previewed too, including triple white and a split black-and-white version, but the black pair feels like the cleanest expression of the drop.
The COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS x Nike Air Max Dolce is expected to release in Summer 2026 through CDG stockists in-store and online for $400.
