Month: March 2023

Since 2020, word of Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God teaming up with adidas has sparked endless curiosity as to what the duo will accomplish in fashion and footwear. Three years later, only a simple merchandise release has taken place — however, it looks like the time has finally come for them to share what has been in development all this time. According to a statement from Jerry Lorenzo that was shared with Complex, the “Fear of God x adidas performance sneakers and ready-to-wear collections will be officially unveiled on April 19 during the Hollywood Bowl showing of Fear of God’s 8th Collection.” The declaration came shortly after a footwear sample from the duo surfaced, to which Lorenzo informed Complex that “this is not the basketball sneaker from Fear of God and adidas.”While Lorenzo’s phrasing indicates that it is not the duo’s basketball shoe, it remains possible that it will appear as a lifestyle offering. Having leaked today, a familiar tan and black upper has been paired with a mesh structure for ankle support combined with a lockdown strap and flat laces. Other details include the Three Stripes in a contrasting black at the toe box and tonal “FEAR OF GOD” branding at the heel displayed below the Trefoil logo.Stay tuned for our much-anticipated coverage of Fear of God’s 8th collection on April 19 as we fully sink our teeth into what Lorenzo and the Three Stripes have cooked up. View this post on Instagram A post shared by HYPEBEAST Kicks (@hypebeastkicks)Looking for more footwear news?

Every spring as the first major championship in golf approaches footwear brands gear up to release their celebratory designs. It’s become a tradition just as much as the tournament itself. And although ASICS has a number of golf specific silhouettes that are worn by players like Hideki Matsuyama — a past winner of the tournament — this year the brand is dressing up one of its all-time favorite runners, the GEL-LYTE III, in a fairway-ready uniform.Functionally, the kicks are a by-the-books rendition of the OG pair with the split tongue, GEL midsole and authentic outsole molding. The materials, textures and colors used throughout the upper, sockliner and midsole are where the shoes begin to pay homage to the 18 hole sport. With a mostly green construction through the upper, a smooth pigskin nubuck is used for the underlays to represent greens and fairways, while the overlays are coated with a longer suede to represent rough. Then, paying homage to classic flag pins, accents of yellow pop against the see of green for the collar, eyelets and window accents. Finally, the pearly white midsole is meant to match with sandy bunkers.Anyone looking to cop a pair can find the kicks dropping on April 6 for a retail price of $140 USD on ASICS’ website.Elsewhere in golf, Jordan Brand has revealed its latest take on the AJ1 Low G.
