Fear of God x Nike Air Skylon II
Jerry Lorenzo’s collaboration with Nike may be heavily focused on basketball, but the overarching theme behind the collection one the largely reflects on the styles and trends of the 1990s.
That much is evident with the inclusion of the Air Skylon II, a running shoe that returned for the first time earlier this year in the spritely colour gradients, but the LA-based menswear designer’s take mutes things down for a super-neutral rotation of white, bone, and sail on some prime materials to create an elevated take on the model.
While the delicate suede and rough canvas base remains, Lorenzo adds a perforated material to the tongue, a Fear Of God logo in the classic Skylon type on the heel, a glossy black Swoosh, and even a lace-lock. Perhaps the most distinguished aspect is the toe-box blocking that blends in seamless with the sole on both the black and light bone version of the Skylon II.
