As most of you should know by now, southeast China was recently hit by a major earthquake. Thousands were injured and killed by the natural catastrophe. 
Hiroshi Fujiwara reports that they will probably be releasing a Fragment Design x Nike Tennis Classic "Panda" pack, which will be auctioned off and proceeds will be donated to the victims of the earthquake. The panda was chosen as the main inspiration for the pack, as it stands for China and more importantly one of the main panda regions of China has been hit by the earthquake.
This is a similar action to the auction held for Niigata. At the time they had made a pack of HTM Air Force 1’s.
There is not set date yet for the auction as the incident just happened, nevertheless Fujiwara already gives us a first look at the sneakers.
This is definitely a great initiative that you should support as much as possible!
