The CDG HOMME x New Balance 1890A Moc Is Finally Getting a Release
The New Balance 1890A that walked the Comme des Garcons HOMME runway in Paris back in January is finally getting a release. Hypebeast reports a November 6 date through the Comme des Garcons website, in two colorways: Black with Charcoal and Beige with Orange. Price and style codes are still to be confirmed, and Sneaker News and Fashionsnap also covered the release date announcement.
What the 1890A is
The 1890A is a hybrid of New Balance’s ABZORB-cushioned runner DNA and a moccasin-style upper. The apron wraps the forefoot in one piece, which gives it that moc-toe look, and the heel has added structure for stability. Sneaker Freaker, which covered the pair at its runway debut, describes the shoe as a moc with premium leather and suede panels and a CDG-branded tongue.
The midsole carries ABZORB injected cushioning, which keeps it comfortable despite the dressier look.
Colors and release details
Hypebeast lists the two colorways as Black, which is a Black and Charcoal mix, and Beige, which pairs Beige with Orange. Sneaker Freaker’s January report described a tonal black and a wheat colorway, so the beige pair appears to be the same idea. Hypebeast says the pair releases November 6 at comme-des-garcons.com. Price is to be confirmed, and no retailer other than CDG is named, so stock may be limited.
How it compares with other CDG HOMME New Balance releases
The CDG HOMME x New Balance partnership has produced several pairs over the years, including the 990v6 and the ABZORB 2010. The 1890A is a different animal because it blends running-shoe comfort with a loafer-like profile, so it can work with tailoring as well as casual outfits. It is easier to wear to work than a loud runner, while still carrying the CDG look.
Who it suits
If you like the quiet luxury side of sneakers, this is a good pick. The black pair works with almost anything, and the beige and orange pair adds a warmer, autumn feel. Fit notes have not been published, so check sizing on the CDG site on release day.
