“COMME des GARÇONS HOMME” 00’s-10’s Double buckle leather combat boots

From COMME des GARÇONS HOMME, which has reinterpreted the structure of everyday wear and the universality of men's clothing from a unique perspective, balancing practicality with a sense of fashion, we are pleased to introduce an exceptional boot that elevates workwear and military elements with a refined leather texture.

Centered on black pebbled leather, by combining the lace-up silhouette with a double buckle at the ankle, this piece conveys both ruggedness and a constructed design.

The upper uses black leather with a natural sheen, and the wrinkles and scuffs that form with wear add depth to the leather's character, giving it the archive-like credibility that comes from lived-in use, unlike a uniformly polished new pair of leather shoes. The toe area is rounded yet suitably voluminous, creating a grounded stance that makes it easy to pair with both slim pants and looser bottoms.

The front features a lace-up arrangement, and by threading black shoelaces through metal eyelets, the boots acquire a practical impression reminiscent of military or work footwear. Because a leather ankle strap is laid over the opening, the result is not just a lace-up boot but a strong architectural beauty evocative of engineer boots or riding boots.

The two side buckles, particularly, with silver-colored hardware emit a subtle gleam against the black leather, serving as decoration while visually tightening the ankle. The leather ends of the strap show aging softness, and in contrast with the firm hardware, you can sense the signature coexistence of everyday incongruity and practicality that defines COMME des GARÇONS HOMME.

The sole uses a gum-colored Vibram sole, adding a touch of warmth to the weighty black leather. The deeply carved lug pattern is a functional design oriented toward grip, and visually it provides a solid, substantial presence at the feet, preserving the work-boot practicality within an urban look.

As for its era, the insole bears engravings of COMME des GARÇONS HOMME and MADE IN JAPAN, and in addition to the absence of QR codes, data matrices, or contemporary long multilingual displays, it aligns with the period when Junya Watanabe designed for COMME des GARÇONS HOMME's men's line, translating workwear and military into a mode sensibility, making this credible as an archive from the 2000s to the 2010s.

Its added value lies in maintaining boot functionality while, through COMME des GARÇONS HOMME's distinctive quiet editorial approach, achieving a structure that is not overly ornate yet leaves a memorable impression. With the strong elements of lace-up, double buckles, and Vibram sole, yet unified in black leather, the ruggedness does not appear excessive, and it naturally sits within a mode-ready look.

In styling, pairing with wool slacks or draped wide trousers enhances the overall weight at the feet, subtly incorporating COMME des GARÇONS’ quiet rebellion with refined taste. Furthermore, when combined with a long coat or a tailored jacket, the workwear background of the boots provides just the right tension, resulting in a gender-neutral, fashion-forward and multidimensional style.

Please seize this opportunity.
