As entities at the top of their respective fields, it seemed somewhat inevitable that Fear Of God and Nike would join forces for a collaboration one day. Jerry Lorenzo’s brand adds modern-day touches and extremely high quality materials to wardrobe staples, making for a true premium athleisure style look that’s been copied by a multitude of brands, from his competitors to mall chain stores. Lorenzo’s first-ever piece of Nike footwear, the Air Fear Of God 1 released this past December, and now a “Light Bone” colorway is set to follow.
Lorenzo worked with Leo Chang — the man responsible for the vast majority of Kevin Durant‘s signature shoes — to create a hybrid sneaker that’s equally as ready for the courts as the streets or the runways. The upper is constructed of an ultra-supple leather that positively radiates premium quality, while a deconstructed high TPU heel cage inspired by the Air Huarache Light holds together a boot-style rope lacing system. The sole is equally as striking, and doesn’t eschew any technology in its pursuit of a high-end look, boasting a double-stacked Zoom Air unit in the heel for ultimate comfort and durability. As Lorenzo is wont to do, branding is kept to a bare minimum, with a small Swoosh on the upper cage and an embossed FOG hit by the cushioning unit and on the heels. A zipper also appears for easy on/off and a finishing touch of detail. Check out a full set of photos below, and look for the Nike Fear Of God shoes to release January 12th, with a kingly MSRP of $350 USD.
