Hiroshi Fujiwara's Fragment has had multiple Air Jordan 3s in the works.

For those who don't know, Hiroshi Fujiwara is the man behind Fragment which has become infamous over the years thanks to some pretty dope art and designs. Fujiwara has even collaborated with Jordan Brand in the past, on the Air Jordan 1. This Fragment x AJ 1 collab is seen as one of the best Jordan 1s of all time and goes for an obscene amount of money on the resale market. Needless to say, fans love it when they hear anything that has to do with Fragment.

A few months ago, a Jordan 3 x Fragment sample surfaced that had the same colors as the Air Jordan 1 on the upper. These colors are blue, white, and black. Now, Fujiwara is sharing an image of an old sample that has a way different aesthetic. As you can see from the IG post below, the shoe in question has multiple shades of grey and has a DIY look that is reminiscent of what Virgil Abloh is doing with Nike

It was rumored that Fragment was supposed to get its own "The Ten" collection a few years ago but the deal ultimately went to Abloh. This sneaker is just a teaser of what could have been.
