The fragment design x Cole Haan Loafer Collection Releases March 2024
Published
In a surprising yet intriguing collaboration, Hiroshi Fujiwara's fragment design merges its streetwear sensibilities with the refined craftsmanship of Cole Haan. Known for his pivotal role in shaping Japan's streetwear landscape, Fujiwara brings his minimalist aesthetics to the forefront of this partnership.
The collaboration focuses on reimagining two iconic Cole Haan silhouettes, blending traditional menswear with contemporary design cues. For the two models, the American Classic Stassel and Spenny Loafers, we see a transformation through the lens of fragment design. Maintaining Cole Haan's reputation for premium quality, the loafers are crafted in patent leather, offering a sleek and polished look.
fragment design's influence is subtly integrated, with its iconic logos adorning each shoe's forefoot strap and lateral heel, a testament to Fujiwara's understated approach to branding. The loafers' sole units are meticulously detailed, featuring typical tooling information that reflects the meticulous design process behind fragment collaborations.
The fragment design x Cole Haan Loafer Collection will launch via Cole Haan's Japanese website on March 11, 2024, with a wider global release not yet confirmed. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is approximately $285. Keep an eye on the Sole Retriever mobile app for updates on this release, as well as other exciting launches, raffles, and sneaker news.
