Fragment Design x P-Rod = Fuji Rod...

Late last year, Hiroshi Fujiwara posted up his design work on Nike SB's marquee athlete Paul Rodriguez's signature weapon of choice the P-Rod II. The Fragment Design "Fuji-Rod" first dropped as a quickstrike in Singapore and appeared to be an oversees release only. This immediately pissed me off...thoughts of the Sbtg Dunk SB immediately came to mind.

But now some 6 months, Nike SB accounts in the states have received the Nike Fuji-Rod, and boy am I happy. The finished product reveals a black 3M upper. The Fragment Design logo can also be seen alongside Hiroshi Fujiwara's signature on the tongue. I'm diggin' the simplicity of the shoe...this being a trademark of what Hiroshi Fujiwara is all about. And the 3M just comliments the shoe perfectly.








Previous information saw a white/multi-color laced version as well, so stay tuned. I'll need to get those to complete the set.
