Following up on the success of the first drop of Nike Air Fear of God sneakers, which were released earlier this year, this latest drop from the Nike x Fear Of God collaboration includes the Nike Air Fear of God Raid sneakers, as well as ready-to-wear pieces like the signature Fear of God short-sleeved hoodie, a double-hooded sweatshirt, and reissues of the previously seen Nike Air Fear of God shorts and trousers.
The star of the capsule is undoubtedly the Nike Air Fear of God Raid. Designer Jerry Lorenzo first fell in love with the Nike Air Raid back in high school, drawn to the shoe’s pared-back grey and black palette, as well as to the geometric impact of its crossed straps.
Significantly, it was always meant to be worn off- court and thus, one of the earliest translations of basketball culture into a spirit and an aesthetic – one that prevails until today and has now infiltrated the world of high fashion.
