Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment and Italian footwear brand ROA have unveiled their first collaboration. Reconstructing ROA’s signature hybrid boots through fragment’s unique lens, the new model is set to release at the concept store V.A.

This latest model features a leather upper with suede details on the heel counter. Combining metallic lace hooks and a rubber toe box, it retains the rugged functionality characteristic of ROA’s outdoor gear roots, all while achieving a refined silhouette in a minimalist black.

The design is anchored by a highly durable Vibram® outsole. ROA’s triangle logo is debossed on the tongue and toe, while the heel bears the fragment logo. Furthermore, a vivid blue outsole provides a striking color contrast against the unified black upper.

The ROA x fragment collaboration model is currently available at V.A. and the official online store. It is priced at 121,000 yen (including tax), with sizes ranging from 41 to 46.
