It was just last week that Sneaker News gave you a close-up look at the upcoming Air Magma Zip created in collaboration with fragment design, a model that takes a cue from something brand new from Nike All Conditions Gear. It’s a fitting tribute to the Nike ACG Zoom Meriwether that its own body is something like an updated take on the Magma’s sweeping suede silhouette, these two simple Hiroshi Fujiwara-styled colorways quite a bit calmer than what likely comes to mind when you picture ‘Nike ACG’. Check them out in greater detail following the jump below and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release date. via Kasina

Hiroshi Fujiwara’s approach to colorizing Nike Sportswear models can be best described as ‘simple’ – with the exception of that co-partnership with Supreme on those All Court Lows. It’s the lifestyle-based models where Hiroshi truly shines, mastering the clean and simple motif with great colorways, but he manages to throw a bit of excitement as seen on this Nike ACG Air Magma. By using a bone grey tonal upper with a unexpected bright yellow zipper on the medial wall, the Fujiwara-led fragment design completes this Air Magma with individualistic perfection that has garnered his label a reputation as one of the best in the business. We showed some aerial shots of these last month, but here we have a look at some better angles, so take a look and let us know what you think.

Take a look back at fragment design’s collaborations with Nike and you won’t be surprised at the simplistic nature of this ACG Zoom Meriwether. Often selecting a tonal upper with a simple secondary color and featuring the brand’s logo via the split ‘pill’ logo or the ‘thunderbolt’ version, fragment design knows how to keep things simple without conveying mundanity. Here’s a look at the fragment design x Nike ACG Zoom Meriwether; we already showed you another fd x Meriwether back in late July (that grey/navy colorway), and this one follows suit, using the simplest colorway known to man – black and white. Check out the additional images below and let us know what you think of the colorway.

Starting in late July, Sneaker News was stuffed to the gills with news of new fragment design collaborations with Nike Sportswear for something like six weeks, and now after a short cooldown period, the hype is starting to manifest in some clean new kicks at retail. Check out the new fragment design x Nike Tennis Classic Velcro in three white leather colorups that illustrate Hiroshi Fujiwara’s tendency to be a few steps ahead of the pack. These three are distinguished by the accent color hits on their heels and have just dropped in Japan, so click through to see more images and stick with Sneaker News for updates regarding US availability. via Houyhnhnm

The team at fragment design usually strays from the stereotypical silhouettes when collaborating with Nike. Over the span of 2011 for instance, lead designer Hiroshi Fujiwara has been going in on a batch of tennis classics. Switching it up again here, fragment turns to the Nike ACG line. The source here has this one billed as a Nike Lava Zip, but on closer inspection the swooshless side definitely seems to be that of the Nike Air Magma. This OG boot from Nike ACG gets the standard suede treatment, shown here in a steely grey. Fragment brings a more modern look with the addition of a side zipper, visible on the medial wall of the shoe. Check out the full look after the jump and stay tuned with Sneaker News for more info and pics on the upcoming fragment design x Nike Air Magma Zip. via Tenisufki

Hiroshi Fujiwara has a long history of collaborative efforts with Nike, both through his fragment design imprint and with Tinker Hatfield and Mark Parker on the HTM project. Mr. Fujiwara has been putting his hands on tennis sneakers for most of 2011, hitting up models like the Nike Tennis Classic, the Nike All Court Low, and the Nike Zoom Match Classic. He’s back at it with the fragment design x Nike Zoom All Court 2 Low ‘Leopard Pack’, a project that we previewed here and we’re back now with some high res images of the collection. The trio of pairs all come in their namesake leopard print, with color combos that range from the expected to the more surreal. Continue reading for a full look at all three of the sneakers and stay tuned with Sneaker News for info on this release.
Update: Will be released at Nike Stadium and Barney’s on October 1st, 2011.

Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara is known for his wild designs, but never before has this decriptor been as literal as its connection to this new fragment design collaboration with Nike Sportswear. Just one of a trio that itself is one third of a series of fragment design x Nike Zoom All Court 2 collabo releases, this brown leopard print Zoom All Court 2 Low is a bit tamer than the purple and pink joints we showed you last Wednesday. Click through to get a better view of this one and let us know how they compare to both the other leopard pairs and the plainer High and Low packs, and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date. via Kenlu

Regular Sneaker News readers know by now that Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design label has quite a few collaborations with Nike Sportswear slated to release later this year. One model in particular has garnered quite a bit of attention, as we’ll see fragment design x Nike Zoom All Court 2 Low releases in three different packs including one teamup with Supreme. The above pictured pair is the antithesis of those brand-patterned drops, navy and white canvas lowtops featuring next to no logos and a pristine white vulc sole. Click on the jump below so you can see more images and expect these at select NSW retailers on Saturday, September 10th.
