Jerry Lorenzo, known for his deeply personal narratives and collaborations in the fashion and sneaker industry, has unveiled his latest creation under the Fear of God Athletics label in partnership with adidas. Inspired by his youth spent in South Florida, where his father coached the Miami Marlins, Lorenzo introduces a special homage to the area with the adidas Fear of God Athletics 1 Miami Hurricanes colorway.
The adidas Fear of God Athletics 1 Miami Hurricanes celebrates Lorenzo’s ties to South Florida, blending high-performance athletic wear with a touch of nostalgia. The sneaker maintains the silhouette’s original design, with engineered mesh and no-sew overlays in black, reminiscent of the OG pairs and the Indiana University version. The bright green toe box pays homage to the iconic colors of the Miami Hurricanes, adding a vibrant pop to the shoe.
A unique feature of the adidas Fear of God Athletics 1 Miami Hurricanes is the midfoot Three Stripes design, inspired by the archival adidas Predator. This detail not only nods to adidas’ heritage but also seamlessly integrates into the shoe’s modern aesthetic. The sole unit has been revamped for basketball performance, incorporating foam for enhanced cushioning and a traction pattern optimized for grip.
Set to release on February 23, 2024, exclusively through Fear of God’s website, the adidas Fear of God Athletics 1 Miami Hurricanes will be available in men’s sizing at a retail price of $250.
