CLOT, Fragment Design, & Nike Meet Again for the Dunk
This article was published on April 9 and updated on May 8
CLOT is doing it big for its birthday year (it turns 20!), and rightfully so. Fresh off an impressive Cortez collab, the brand is set to link again with Nike and Fragment Design.
For the three-way collab (which isn't their first time, by the way), the minds will join forces for a collaborative Dunk Low sneaker and apparel options, all confirmed to release on May 19. Mark your calendars.
Early this year, official images surfaced, revealing the collaborative Dunk with a tearaway silk upper, like the three's 2019 Air Force 1 collab.
The upper again boasts an embroidered pattern, rendered in white for a clean, tonal look. Black takes over the tongue, lace system, and insole, providing some classic monochrome contrast.
The three keep things simple and understated down below, too, opting for a translucent sole for the collaborative Dunk.
And last but certainly not least, "CLOT" and "FRGMNT" are stitched on the heel tabs, while Nike branding hits elsewhere.
Fragment Design founder Hiroshi Fujiwara teased in-hand and on-foot looks at the CLOT x Fragment Design x Nike Dunk Low sneaker and a seemingly collaborative graphic t-shirt featuring a panda.
Fujiwara's caption? "Love CLOT." CLOT co-founder Edison Chen's response? "Love FRAG."
With CLOT reconnecting with old friends for its 20th anniversary, I wonder if there are other three-ways that we could see happen again? Say, sacai perhaps?
