Hiroshi Fujiwara Shares Rare Nike Air Presto x Air Force 1 Sample

Legendary Ura-Hara designer and his imprint have a long relationship with . Fujiwara has put his own spin on a bevy of Team Swoosh’s iconic silhouettes for well over a decade now, from the to and everything in between. In among all their release-calendar-dominating designs is a smattering of rare samples that never made it to mass production. In a recent interview with magazine QUIET, Fujiwara shared a never-before-seen that exudes vibes.

‘I thought it would be interesting if I could connect the midsole of the sample I tried directly to the upper, but it seems to be quite difficult,’ Fujiwara told the Japanese magazine. ‘However, this first sample was comfortable to wear and was fairly well made. I feel like with a little more trial and error I could make something even better, but that’s for another time.’

The neoprene base and higher-cut are the biggest changes to the usual Air Force 1 build. Elsewhere, the heel isn’t stitched to the upper and round hiking-style laces and reflective material finish off the design.

Don’t expect these Fragment x Nike Air Force 1s on sneaker store shelves, they’ll live in Hiroshi Fujiwara’s vault until the end of times.
