As archivists we must always provide some context or point of reference to paint a full picture of the hype so we save you some google searches. For those that may not know Dover Street Market is a high-end fashion retail concept created by Rei Kawakubo who is also the founder of Comme des Garcons. This may provide context on the hype. Now let us get into the sneaker and what makes it
great.
The shoe comes in a triple black colourway that gives off an understated vibe. The black draws you in to further check on the different textures and details. There are some cool easter eggs you discover when you wear the shoe out and feel al the materials. This separates it from the general release triple black Vomero. The DSM version boosts a certain level gloss with the patent leather on the swoosh and side panels. There’s also a touch of flash on the toe box panel as there are 3M accents around the mesh. The tongue tab has the Dover Street Market spell out with the swoosh under it to show that it is indeed a collaborative piece. A cool easter egg is the 2004 2024 print on the in sole to celebrate the fact that Dover Street Market has been with us in style and fashion for 20 years.
Comfort wise there is not much one can do to improve upon perfections. The Vomero 5 remains one of the most comfortable and light shoes in existence. The Nike Zoom technology shines in a way that will have your feet thanking you for this shoe. From a styling perspective this shoe is all styles approved especially it being all black you can go high fashion to super relaxed with ease.
