Hiroshi Fujiwara's fragment design works in collaboration with Converse on a new Chuck 70 capsule for the season. It is highlighted by pastel tones throughout the range. It features both the high-top iteration and the low-cut silhouette. Both of these are detailed in either a pastel blue palette or a dusty pink colorway.
Additionally, it is constructed from canvas materials for a breathable touch. As a branding accent, Fujiwara adds the signature bolt logo that is seen on the lower heel of the high-tops. The shorter iteration features branding at the heel reading 'FRGMT" in a serif font. Another custom touch includes the bold black strip on the midsole unit that reads "Converse By You (Fragment)."
