That’s why the collaborations between Nike and Fear of God go from fashion to performance without any barriers. His desired FOG 1 stepped on the NBA courts, the FOG Raid is inspired by a classic from the nineties and the FOG Moc took details from the 180.
FEAR OF GOD PRESENTS THEIR NEW NIKE SKYLON 2
It’s not easy for Jerry Lorenzo to talk about fashion as something that he’s never been affiliated with, separate from his life. He’s a son of a professional baseball player, so his approach to fashion comes from sports as well as many of his references, which makes sense when it comes to his collaboration with New Era and the MLB or Nike and the NBA. To understand his brand, Fear of God, it’s necessary to not only understand the sports from the ‘80s and ‘90s but also the culture that surrounded them.
Surely the most respectful approach to the nineties comes through the Nike Air Skylon II. Perfectly adapted to Jerry Lorenzo’s imagery, it eliminates the side panels with the ombré effect, classic to the Skyline, places the transparent swoosh, plays with different materials and finishings and shows off new laces with adjustable closing.
Everything’s in the characteristic Jerry Lorenzo colour palette, used on Fear of God, greys, whites and off-white tones.
