Hey all! I was scrolling through my camera roll and found some pics from a pair of TS Fragment Highs. These pics are from around 6 months ago, and were taken when I sold them off, since I never wore them. 

I bought this pair over 3 years ago, it’s been a long time. I wore them every once in a while, and I honestly liked this style a lot, but I never found chances to wear them without sticking out like a sore thumb.

\# LOOKS - HOW DO THEY HOLD UP?

The looks actually surprise me a little, for a shoe being made 3+ years ago. This HP batch was recommended as the best back in the day, and for a good reason. The details on this shoe are done pretty well. I would say they hold up pretty well compared to current batches. The shape is nice, which is a big indicator for a rep when it comes to experienced sneakerheads.

Back in the day, the yellow midsole was everywhere. No one seemed to be able to figure out how to make a sail coloured midsole, it was either bright white or extremely yellow. This pair is not free of it, but is definitely is better than the LJR, OG, big players of that time. I remember being very new to the game and seeing this shoe as a crazy deal for the price.

The pics were taken in a rush and kinda in bad lighting, so you can’t see it here, but after 3 years there were some changes. The white leather suffered from pretty noticeable yellowing, especially near the end where the leather was cut, and I think the blue darkened a bit as well. Overall held up decent, but not without changes.

\# MATERIALS / COMFORT

From what I remember, this HP pair was decently comfortable. It was similar to that of my LJR TS1 Mochas at the time, so it’s safe to say they used similar materials. I honestly don’t even remember if LJR made these at the time I bought them. This shoe just didn’t seem to attract big factories for whatever reason. The leather was cut a little thicker than LJR, but otherwise, it was fine. 

\# HELPFUL RATING

Honestly, it seems unfair to give an objective rating to a pair of shoes over 3 years old 😂 but i’ll go off memory. This HP pair was very solid back in the day for me as a newbie sneakerhead. I don’t know if they’re still made (probably not), and the W2C link was dead when I checked it. I’d give it a solid 8/10 for the time it was purchased.
