Jerry Lorenzo encerrou o ano de 2018 dando mais detalhes sobre o processo de criação do AIR FEAR OF GOD 1 e revelando que mais de 30 diferentes opções de cores e materiais foram testadas, antes que as primeiras delas começassem a chegar às ruas.

Para ilustrar o texto, o designer usou a foto de duas variantes marcadas pelo cabedal de mesh combinado com um cage de TPU nas cores verde e laranja, essa última feita a partir das lembranças de Lorenzo de quando estudava na faculdade da Flórida e jogava pelo time de basquete universitário.

O designer deixou claro que muitas outras versões do AIR FEAR OF GOD 1 estão a caminho, mas que outras tantas nunca verão a luz do dia.

Enquanto isso, ainda aguardamos detalhes sobre a chegada dos produtos resultantes da primeira colaboração entre NIKE e FEAR OF GOD aqui no Brasil, prometida para esse mês de janeiro.

…over the past year we’ve sampled tons of sneakers in lots of colorways, fabrics, materials, etc… i design in 3d so i have to touch and feel it before pulling the trigger. my gifts are in physicality not photoshop. there’s actually about 20 to 30 more vibes/sneakers in this box… some will see the light of day, some may forever live in this box… in an era of leaks, i’m not mad this colorway made the light of day… i actually love this orange box color cage and bone upper vibe… this shoe for was made for @famu_1887 mens/womens hoop teams… when i played baseball there in the 90’s we didnt have coordinated team shoes and we just wore whatever we could afford… playing ball at a black college in the 90’s was everything except D1. …anyhow, i said if i ever get the opportunity i’m going to make @famuathletics what michicgan and the fab 5 were to me in college or what orgegon is to kids today… so anyhow, this is a just a sample from that train of thought… not sure whether or not it sees the light of day or hits the @famuathletics teams, but thought i’d provide you with the context of the spirit behind this (sample) shoe… everything we do has reason and has foundation. we don’t move on hype. and we dont ride waves. 👊🏽
