Taking the hardwood by storm, Jerry Lorenzo channels Americana and basketball with his Nike collab for SS19

Expertly bridging the gap between cutting-edge sportswear, high-end streetwear and Americana-tinged aesthetics, Nike and Jerry Lorenzo's Fear Of God present a further drop of sneakers and apparel. Centring around a trio of esoteric basketball sneaker styles inspired by traditional Native American moccasin shoes, a muted colour palette keeps this capsule firmly rooted in a natural framework despite its technical sportswear functionality.

Inspired by the juxtaposing impressions of dusty mesas and the hardwood, Lorenzo's collection with the titans of athletic apparel captures the essence of both influences, drawing on common bonds to present a perspective unique to the Los Angeles-based designer. Hardwired throughout the DNA of the line, this system of reference ensures that these distinctive pieces maintain a sense of versatility, while engaging honestly with the past and present of America.

Pared back with a low-key frame of mind, this contemporary minimalist offering sees a fresh duo of the Strap sneaker added to the fold, complete with their signature forefoot strap, press stud ankle closure and adjustable heel toggle. Embellished with Lorenzo's cushioning of choice - Zoom Air - these sneakers are kitted out for a perfect combination of style, comfort, support and precision. A murdered out rendition of the designer's favourite childhood sneaker - the Raid - encapsulates the unique amalgamation of style and substance that the Nike x Fear Of God collaboration represents, while a pullover jacket and woven track pants ensure you'll be able to turn the court into a catwalk.
