Fragment Design X Nike Mind 002 Flyknit Black

Fragment Design works by removal. Where most collaborations add a logo, a print or a story, this one edits until only proportion is left, which is why an all black Flyknit build is the natural outcome. The Mind 002 has no colour to lean on and no graphic to explain itself, so what you are buying is the shape and the knit. That approach suits a company whose founding idea was also reduction: Bill Bowerman went looking for lighter shoes for his runners because nothing on the American market was light enough, and Nike's engineering has chased the same instinct ever since, from the waffle sole to cable based uppers that hold the foot with almost no material.
