Fear of God designer Jerry Lorenzo made headlines upon abruptly ending his partnership with Nike and announcing his move to become the creative director of German spiortswear-giant Adidas. In a similar fashion to Kanye West's move back in 2018, sneakerheads quickly noticed that this would imply no new releases of the coveted Nike Air Fear of God 1, causing resell prices to surge.

The silhouette has since become a sought-after classic, and a grail to many sneakerheads. Especially the Triple Black colourway, which was initially more underrated, has gained immense popularity, thanks to its simple and clean design.

The silhouette itself is quite bulky and powerful, so a monochromatic colour blocking attenuated this look. The result: a beautiful high-top sneaker, constructed from premium materials and providing high levels of comfort and quality. A mesh upper is combined with TPU panelling, a durable hard-rubber plastic. Further, a thick midsole encages a double-unit Zoom Air midsole which strongly contributes to the overall comfort.

 

It's a classic, it's aesthetic, it's comfortable. You really can't go wrong with the Nike Air Fear of God 1 Triple Black.
