First Look At The fragment x CLOT x Nike Air Force 1 'Black'

After getting a glimpse of a 'Game Royal' colourway last week, we're now taking our first look at the hotly anticipated fragment x CLOT x Nike Air Force 1 'Black'! Made in partnership with Hiroshi Fujiwara and Edison Chen, this is one of the most exciting AF1 collaborations ever, and we're beyond hyped!

Crafted from a luxurious black silk, the upper is embellished with traditional Chinese patterning that's a nod to the Hong Kong multi-hyphenate's heritage. A stealthy Swoosh shoots across the lateral and medial side panels in premium leather, while additional full grain elements adorn the tongue for added luxury.

One thing that you might not know about the 'Black' is that like previous CLOT AF1 releases, the premium upper can be burnt away to reveal a mysterious base layer underneath. One of 2019's most popular sneaker trends, when the silk is singed, a striking red leather is revealed complete with earthy brown fragment thunderbolts and geometric detailing.

Moving downwards, the classic Nike Air midsole is present for comfort and cushioning that's next level. This is lined with a slither of gum rubber for durable traction with every step, finalising the opulent aesthetic.

If, like us, you want the fragment x CLOT x Nike Air Force 1 'Black' in your collection, it's set to drop sometime this month for around £200. While this may seem steep at first, you need to bear in mind that this is a rare three-way collab from three of the industry's biggest names, so it's definitely worth that money.
