Another grail I'll be acquiring this year.
I have this weird infatuation with logo's, my favorite thing about this shoe isn't the silhouette or the colorway, which are both great, but my favorite thing about this entire shoe is the small circled lightning bolts pictured on the rear panel/heel of the shoe.
Fragment is a Tokyo-based brand founded by legendary designer Hiroshi Fujiwara in 2003, and is known for its minimalist aesthetic and streetwear influence.
For the longest time, I had no idea what the name of this brand was or who the logo was associated with. The only thing that came to mind, was...
Circled parallel lightning bolts.
Typed that into google, learned about Mr. Fujiwara, his creativity and contributions across different countries and companies. And my fascination has only grown from there.
