2021’s Fragment x Nike Dunk High “Beijing” Drops The Mismatched Look_Sole Says It All

Back in January, there were rumors that the Fragment x Nike Dunk High “City Pack” would be making its return in 2021. And though we expected a true-to-OG recreation, what we’re actually getting is something just a bit off. As revealed by way of sneaker leakers and insiders, the “Beijing” colorway is only a fraction of what it once was, the pair now removed of the mismatched effect that made it noteworthy years prior.

The “London” and “New York” alternates will likely follow suit, each opting for one and only one set of color blocking. Here, the “Beijing” prefers to keep the purple along the inside, i.e. the mid-panel, toe, and collar. Elsewhere, black neutrals outfits the overlays, finishing off a palette that’s at least halfway faithful. But what’s overtly not is the branding, as the counter’s Fragment lightning bolt is sized up by a small yet noticeable degree. The midsole also lays down some additional text, further setting the release apart from the original.

Take a detailed look at the new Fragment x Dunk High “Beijing” below. A release is currently set to land later this Fall.
