^ Had to do it. The best colorway out of the releases.
 
copped the greens and navy fragments. i liked most of the available cws (black, red, green, navy, sand)..sands were not available in my size so I had to choose from the rest..and imo all green is the second best cw..navy because they are easy to match! can't wait to receive them! 

ps: quality is good i guess right?
 
Just curious, are we supposed to get two of the hollow metal nike court logo and one solid nike lab x fragment dogtag, or just one and one?
My baroque brown pair came with one and one and my all Rust pair came with 2 and one dogtag.

My white/chlloros, rust/sand, obsidian pairs all came with 1 and 1....
 
Got my black pair in. I think theyy look better in pics than in person. I really like the leather on these and it feels like the most recent retro of the Medicine balls AT3.

'Denims' arrived today. Nike's been hitting some solid doubles and triples here.. A OG Chlorophyll premium (a real one. not just in name like past releases) would be that HR hitter.


This pair is definitely a journey into various materials.

-White leather elements are quite unique to what I have seen comparing to other nike cross trainer models. There is a certain stickiness to the leathers texture. It's hard to explain. It's not smooth right off the bat or fake feeling. It gets dirty really really easily. This includes the toebox, tongue, and ankle padding area. I wouldn't call it a gritty feeling. But the outer layer has this roughness to it. It's pretty soft (not as soft as the frags). I want to compare it to car upholstery leather in some sense. In my estimation, this leather is right up there with the best of this era of trainers.
-Grey leather. It's actually more of a cracked leather on both the heel and surrounding the toebox. Rough to the tough. But on foot, it's not stiff at all.
-Navy Denim. Probably the cheapest part of the shoe.It feels thin and lacks that true denim texture
-Heel tab element is a neoprene material. Think Air trainer max 91
-Corduroy elements are super frickin soft. The medial side portion is buttery soft. Where the swoosh lies, that part is a bit stiffer (with an obvious harder material backing). It tends to buckle and bend a bit oddly
-Sockliner is a soft small perforated mesh material. I have owned stiffer varieties where your back ankle can get bloody. No real issues here on a softness front.

Solid 8.5 out of 10 easily. Maybe I'm talking out of my butt here. How this comes in at $110, with such great/solid materials, and no true discussion puzzles me. These deserve everyone's chance at at least trying them on.
 
@wallyhopp

I think the leather on those is just a little bit thinner and definitely more supple than the usual stuff.

The grey part is kind of cheap but durable.

The denim is shoddy, but the corduroy is soft and different that it makes up for what the denim lacks. Stuff is going to be tricky to really keep clean.

Definitely will grab a second pair once they go under $80, which they will soon enough.

I agree in part. Finally in years, it seems like I am getting my moneys worth.

Ive kind of been used to the crap stuff over the years. I got used to paying what I paid on the 2012 chlorophylls, and even going back to the 2008-2009 chlorophyll at1s. So when something finally seems WORTH the money, I am pretty vocal.

I can be vocal in both regards though. When something sucks and isn't worth the money, I will let yall know. Likewise, $100 shipped for these 'denims' isn't so bad.

Content or satisified is a good wordage to use here. If they sit (I did not expect them to hit the states), anything less than retail is quite the steal imho.
 
I'm looking to order the all white/3m fragment pair today with my voucher.

Only one available in my true size.

How do these fit?? I have the 2012 chlorophyll crappy ones in my true size and fit pretty well. I tried on the Puerto Rico ones in my size the other day and felt small so concerned about sizing on these.

Any help is appreciated!!

I have the 2012 chloros and the all Rust pair felt a tad bit looser, probably due to the give of the materials. The chino pair fit just like the chlorophyll (maybe a tad tighter, since I've been wearing the chloros all day today and threw the Chino pair on for sizing comparison).
This probably doesn't help, since that white 3m pair is probably made of different materials than the monochrome pairs and the Chino pair, but at least it's something to base it off of in case you are in a time crunch to order.
I planned on ordering the same size as my chloros.

Thanks for your reply.

Yeah I didn't consider that the all white are 3m material. I hope someone who has both will reply soon. I'm not on a time crunch just worried my size will run out as it did for all the other fragment models. I would like a leather pair just because of the better quality but the all white caught my eye right away since I never got a Wimbledon Air Tech Challenge 2.
 
You know there's a all leather white US Open.....I don't have the cloro but I have the 3M, Obsidians, and the alt French opens (sand/chino). The 3M are just slightly snugger than the leather and non-leather iteration.
