Jerry Lorenzo and Nike just unveiled the second Fear of God Collection which will feature the Nike Air Fear of God Raid and the Nike Air Fear of God Moccasin. Previews is two flashy colors of the Nike Air Fear of God 1.
Jerry Lorenzo saw the Nike Air Raid for the first time as a high school sophomore when a fellow student came into class with it on. The shoe itself was an immediate object of desire. Lorenzo loved the gray and black color scheme, he said, and the nuances of the geometric patterns and the impact of the crossed straps.
As he learned more about sneaker culture, Lorenzo discovered that the Raid was designed for playground use. It wasn’t strictly off-court, instead it was an early channeling of basketball culture into a physical manifestation. The Raid was a vibe — sport and spirit in fashionable unison.
Because of that the Nike Air Raid is a perfect conduit for Lorenzo’s design construct. Giving it new shape and new life doesn’t recreate the past, it gives the present time an object of its own to with which to shepard the tone of this time.
The collection will also includes the Nike Air Fear of God Moc, a double-hooded sweatshirt, new T-shirt, and reprises of the Nike Air Fear of God short and pant.
You can expect the Nike Air Fear of God Spring – Summer 2019 Collection to start releasing at select retailers and online at Nike.com on April 27th.
