Year: 2023

If there’s one thing we know about Fear of God and adidas’ partnership, it’s that they aren’t rushing things. It’s been years since the long-term collaboration was announced and they’ve yet to officially debut their partnership on shelves. The last major step in the rollout was the inclusion of collaborative pieces in Fear of God’s debut runway show, but that took place almost half a year ago. In the meantime, leaks continue to serve as starting points for discussion with the duo’s special rendition of the Rivalry Low 86 popping up in a total of three colorways now.Following reveals in gray and black, a brown suede colorway has been showcased. Consistent with the preceding looks, the monochromatic upper hosts its signature color with a Trefoil stamp at the heel and the Three Stripes on each side of the shoe. Supporting the sneaker, an off-white platform sole unit combines adidas branding with a “FEAR OF GOD” stamp at the heel in black.No updates from Fear of God or adidas regarding their first collaborative delivery have surfaced in recent months. Hang tight as we expect news to be shared by the end of the year from at least one party, with the debut likely going down shortly thereafter. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Knowing Kicks (@knowing_kicks)Look out for this silhouette to play a key role in the duo’s initial launch and for more of the latest news from the footwear space, be sure to check out our latest installment of the Sole Mates series — featuring Sean Wotherspoon and the adidas Gazelle.

After the duo wrapped up its work on the Air Force 1 Low, they pivoted to the Air More Uptempo in a low-top form. Ahn initially teased the project in April with another teaser earlier this month joined by a leaked black and white look.Now, a third colorway has appeared, combining purple hues with green and red in a colorful arrangement. Kicking things off, the shoe’s base dons a soft lavender hue that is contrasted by a forest green at the silhouette’s signature “AIR” lettering, laces, heel tab and “AMBUSH” branding at the lower heel. From there, a darker purple joins the fray at the Air-infused sole unit, lining and tongue branding while a dark red adorns the Swooshes at the toe box and heel.As of now, Nike and AMBUSH have yet to officially announce their forthcoming collaboration on the Air More Uptempo Low. Stay tuned for official details as we expect all three of the revealed colorways to land on shelves by the end of the year via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kicksa luo luo (@kicksdong)Looking for more of the latest collaborative headlines from the footwear industry?
