General Items

Fear of God has only been in the sneaker game for 18 months, but in that time, its signature footwear has become as much a part of the Fear of God aesthetic as the oversized flannels and zipper-detailed jeans that sent the brand into the street-wear stratosphere in the first place.

What exactly makes these hiking sneakers and not just, uh, sneakers? Aside from the gray nubuck upper and gum sole, these kicks feature details normally reserved for boots, like D-ring lace loops and those red laces usually found on those born-in-the-’70s Italian hiking boots that are even more popular today. And like those vintage styles, Fear of God’s hiking sneakers are also made in Italy with premium materials, including that oversized sole (which looks more natural on a boot than on the label’s previous sneaker styles). This is also a big reason why these kicks don’t go cheap—at $995, they’re easily one of the most expensive sneakers on the market. (If you’re looking for more affordable Fear of God sneakers, the brand also has an ongoing collaboration with Vans.)

But you get what you pay for. These shoes are certified head-turners despite their muted colorway, and though they won’t replace the shoes you wear when the weather gets truly gnarly, they’ll be your go-to crossover sneaker flex for years to come.

Jerry Lorenzo never ceases to amaze me when it comes to his sneaker designs. From his extremely successful collaboration with Vans to his current partnership with Nike, Jerry Lorenzo created all kinds of buzz around his sneaker designs.
Jerry Lorenzo already saw multiple releases and sneaker models with his partnership with Nike. Ranging from the Fear of God 1 SA to the Air Skylon 2 model to the Moccasin and the Raid, every release was extremely successful. However, nothing is more representative than the Fear of God 1 model, which is arguably the most sought after model in the entire Nike Fear of God collection.
As of now, there are a total of 5 released color ways of the  Fear of God 1 model, with the yellow color way releasing sometime soon this month. The color way that I will be reviewing today is the recently released Army green color way, formally known as the Army green Fear of God 1 sneaker boot.

The  Fear of God sneaker is also a brand new silhouette designed by Jerry Lorenzo, which is why it’s so special. Unlike other collaborations where an original Nike model is simply re-imagined with some twists here and there, Jerry Lorenzo got to create an entirely new sneaker model.

The Fear of God sneakers  comes in a white box. Due to the shoe being a hightop sneaker boot, the box is pretty big in size but at the same time extremely sturdy.

The heels of the Fear of God comes with a zipper for you to zip down. Since the Fear of God 1. You can also see the Fear of God logo printed individually on the heels of the shoe.
