Hiroshi Fujiwara’s sneak peek snaps of the upcoming fragment design zapatillas converse chuck taylor all star were much appreciated but they left us with a few questions. Namely, was the ‘Sample Not for Resale’ part of the design? Luckily we didn’t note it as a selling feature – even though we kind of liked it – because crisp, new pictures have surfaced devoid of the ambiguous red text.A small, white-stitched patch on the left shoe’s lateral side and collaborators’ branding on the heel is all that distinguishes this Chuck from other Chucks. There’s been no firm word on the Colette exclusive angle, but we’ll let you know when we know. This one’s definitely a release for fragment design and sacai fans. The rest of us will be content with good old-fashioned, patch-free Chucks.
