Fear of God's First-Ever Runway Show Brings Out Stars at Hollywood Bowl
Fear of God founder, Jerry Lorenzo recently treated fans and celebs alike to the first-ever runway show for his popular streetwear clothing line at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
According to Sneaker Freaker, the LA-based imprint revealed a brand new sneaker model in the process.
The loaded guest list included Pusha T, Sampha (who both performed), Kanye West, and Kelly Rowland.
Backstage at the show, Lorenzo told Vogue that he wanted to “celebrate American luxury” without overlooking the generational injustices and exploitation that allowed for America’s rise. He said: “When I grew up, my dad told me stories of his grandma picking cotton. Now I have the luxury that my staff brings me fabric books, and I get to pick and choose the cotton. So there’s freedom, and there’s a responsibility that comes from a lot of pain. But more than pain, it comes from love."
The fashion magazine noted that the collection is filled with Fear of God's signature neutral and black color palette. Lorenzo added, “I needed to share every part of the Christian journey, the Black journey, and not just the parts that people like to pick to celebrate. You know it’s a beautiful journey. But it’s even more beautiful if you pay attention to every part of it and understand why it is what it is.”
Fans took to social media to praise the event. "Fear of God by Jerry Lorenzo at The Hollywood Bowl— everything was beautiful, and the music was impeccable."
The highly anticipated Fear of God Adidas features a mid-cut silhouette debuted by Pusha T. Ostensibly manufactured with breathable, sock-like uppers and Three Stripes cages and will come in two colorways that fit the Fear of God aesthetic.
No release date has been set for the shoe drop.
