COMME des GARÇONS Homme Plus Takes on the Air Jordan 11.
The collaboration keeps the Jordan 11 recognizable while pushing the finish, materials and branding in a more fashion-led direction.
The collaboration is visually restrained but materially different from a standard Jordan 11. Dover Street Market lists a patent leather contoured mudguard, premium leather construction, debossed CDG and Jordan branding at the heel, debossed “23” branding at the back, dual-branded insoles and a full-length Air-Sole unit.
The black version is currently marked out of stock on DSMNY. That limited retail footprint is a better way to frame the release than treating it like a normal wide Jordan launch.

The black pair is still the stronger expression of the concept. The monochrome palette lets the Jordan 11 silhouette carry the design, while the finish and branding make it feel closer to fashion footwear than a standard retro.
At $358, this is clearly a premium collaboration. The value is in the CDG execution and scarcity, not in getting the most Jordan for the money.
