Hiroshi Fujiwara's fragment design has a history of working with some of the most renowned brands in the fashion industry, and its most popular collaborations usually come under the Nike Inc. umbrella. Insanely hyped pairs, such as the fragment design x Air Jordan 1 High and three-way collab with Travis Scott on the same silhouette, featured the brand’s iconic blue color palette. While the brand's past work with Converse featured more neutral takes on the Converse All-Star 70 Ox, the usual blue color palette returns on the upcoming fragment design x Converse Weapon Mid.
Dressed in a premium white leather upper with black and blue accents, fragment design keeps things simple with its take on the retro basketball silhouette. Crisp white leather is present on the toebox, quarter panel, eyestays, and heel portions, while jet-black shades land on the mudguard, top eyestays, and “Y” strap along the collar. Fragment design’s iconic blue appears on Converse branding atop the tongue, midfoot, and on the leather collar and heel. Like most collaborations from Hiroshi Fujiwara’s label, the lightning bolt logo gets debossed along the lateral heel. Underfoot, a faux-aged midsole gets paired with a black outsole.
The fragment design x Converse Weapon Mid will drop May 11, 2023 through Converse, Nike SNKRS, fragment designs, and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $140.
