In January, menswear designer Jerry Lorenzo showcased a brand new collaborative sneaker with Nike as part of the Fear of God fashion label’s sixth collection, now Nike shares the official imagery for the“Light Bone” silhouette. The new silhouette’s name comes from Charle’s Barkley’s Air Force 180 as well as NSW’s Air 180 – responsible for the inspiration behind the line’s double-stacked Air unit – this mid-cut offering chooses to equip an make-up borrowed straight from the nostalgic Air Raid. A contrasting black Swoosh logo wraps around the heel, which sits atop a double-stacked Zoom Air unit seen on the Air Fear of God 1.
Look for the Nike Air Fear of God 180 “Light Bone” to hit select Nike retailers, nike.com and Fear of God locations in the upcoming weeks.
