AJ 3 Retro SP ‘Fragment’

The Fragment Design x AJ 3 is a collaboration between Hiroshi Fujiwara’s design studio and AJ Brand on MJ’s third signature shoe. Rumored to originally be part of Fujiwara’s scrapped “The 10” collection, this collaborative AJ 3 sports a simple color scheme of black and white, though it’s full of intricate details that make this one of the most appealing AJ 3 colorways on the market. Starting with the upper, white tumbled leather appears on either side of the shoe. Smooth white leather can be found in a dotted design on both the collar and eyelets. Interestingly, Fragment removes the AJ 3’s beloved elephant print mudguard in favor of moody smooth black leather. An embossed Fragment Design logo is located on the glossy black heel panel. Moreover, a tonal embroidered Jumpman is stitched onto the white leather tongue, and Fragment’s Double Bolt logo appears beneath the translucent heel overlay, which displays a traditional Jumpman emblem and black “Air” detailing.
