Fragment Design x Nithtke Mind 001
Fragment Design x Nithtke Mind 001 – The partnership that redefines the sandal
The Fragment Design x Nithtke Mind 001 is the result of a collaboration between Hiroshi Fujiwara—founder of Fragment Design and a key figure in Japanese streetwear—and Nithtke's expertise in upcycling. The distinctive double lightning bolt on the strap isn't just a decorative detail; it's a signature feature that transforms an upcycled sandal into an object of absolute desire.
What distinguishes this collaboration from the classic Mind 001 is the cultural dimension it brings: same foam, same comfort, but an incomparable status. Whether you wear it after a workout or around town, it's recognized in both contexts.
Key Technologies
Ultra-soft, one-piece EVA foam — a single piece of foam that forms the entire sandal, from the strap to the sole. Immediate absorption of plantar pressure from the first step, with no break-in period.
Fragment Design Strap — wider than the standard strap, it distributes support across the entire top of the foot without pressure points. The double embossed lightning bolt is cut from the same EVA material, not added on top.
Integrated anti-slip sole — reliable grip on dry and wet surfaces, perfect for changing rooms, poolside and heavy daily use.
Total lightness — almost imperceptible on the foot, ideal for long hours of passive recovery or post-competition travel.
