Gosh, where to start? NIKE and FRAGMENT DESIGN have been singing from the same hymn-sheet since 2010’s TENNIS CLASSICS, going on to cover some of our industry’s most loved silhouettes with excruciating ease.
Instead of tapping into Peter Moore’s AIR JORDAN 1 or even the upcoming three-way Waffle hybrid spawned in Sacai’s laboratory, we shall be finding solace beneath sister-brand ACG’s bold ZOOM Meriwether shadow. This all-terrain, all-conditions article of rugged ELEGANCE breached entry into ACG’s cleanslate era of outerwear; taking pride of place alongside the combat ready WOODSIDE and TAKAO Gore-Tex lines.
Though we cannot, and will not deem the use of d-ring lacing, an elaborate wrap-around tongue system and medial zip to be REVOLUTIONARY - we can earmark HIROSHI FUJIWARA’s nod towards hiking silhouettes as an early nudge in the direction modern trends would take. This model was available in two nappy-suede colourways, launched alongside three versions further of the equally mid-cut Nike Air Magma Zip.
Weaving through an amalgamation of samples, Jordan Brand product and the occasional FnF instalment - which Fragment Design embossed Nike silhouette has been your favourite thus far? Consider a world where third-party pricing isn’t an emblematic factor!
