Nike’s Air Force 1 has been the canvas for countless crossovers, but its latest twist takes the silhouette into new territory: the world of gaming. The VLRNT x Fragment x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Triple Black” isn’t just another collaboration; it’s a collision between Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design and Riot Games’ cultural phenomenon, VALORANT.
In recent months, Riot has expanded the reach of its tactical shooter with fashion tie-ins, dropping the VLRNT // FRGMT capsule that bridged apparel, accessories, and even in-game content.
Dressed entirely in black leather, the pair leans into stealth aesthetics that mirror VALORANT’s sleek, tactical edge. The finish feels deliberate: smooth uppers with tonal stitching, a blacked-out sole unit, and minimal branding to give the details room to shine.
On the heel, fragment’s iconic double-lightning logo is subtly debossed, while the midsole carries bold “VLRNT” lettering alongside the traditional “AIR.”
The collaboration’s storytelling runs deeper than just logos. Much like the VLRNT // FRGMT collection, which included nods to VALORANT’s in-game culture, this AF1 is expected to weave subtle references into its build.
Functionally, the sneaker maintains everything that’s made the AF1 a legend for over 40 years, but the Vibram-style reworking of culture here is about narrative rather than performance.
