Major news was revealed today during adidas<\/a><\/strong>‘ Q1 2023 earnings conference call. Bjorn Gulden, the CEO & Head of Global Brands at adidas AG, disclosed that the company plans to sell its remaining Yeezy inventory, while also announcing that Ye would be entitled to royalties<\/a>. In the midst of all this, adidas AG also revealed that three new performance basketball sneakers are to be released soon, by way of Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, Jerry Lorenzo<\/a><\/strong> previewed the Fear of God x adidas Basketball sneakers<\/a> at his fashion show at the Hollywood Bowl. The lineup included a pair of sneakers that had leaked earlier this year<\/a>, which prompted Lorenzo to respond and claim that the leaks were inaccurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We now know that these sneakers are part of the upcoming Fear of God x adidas line and that two other silhouettes are to be expected as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The first performance shoe, which is called Basketball 1,” said adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden, when speaking on the Fear of God launch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There will be a Basketball 2 and there will be a Basketball 3,” he continued. “You actually [will] see quite [a few] performance shoes coming out of the Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God, that is also going to be played in the NBA.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, there’s a chance that athletes like James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Damian Lillard, Trae Young, and Derrick Rose will be seen on-court wearing the upcoming Fear of God x adidas sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think personally that [Fear of God x adidas] is a game changer,” said Gulden. “You will start to see this product visible during the second half [of 2023]. We will have some commercial launches also at the back end of the second half, and then of course, this should be a major part of our basketball initiatives for 2024 and beyond.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jerry Lorenzo first joined Three-Stripes in December of 2020<\/a>, but up until now, nothing has come out of the partnership. While the excitement for the launch is still there, many feel that the collaboration is long overdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Release dates for the upcoming Fear of God x adidas Basketball Sneakers<\/strong> remain up in the air, but more information should be unveiled soon. For more sneaker news<\/a> and release dates<\/a>, follow @NiceKicks<\/a> on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
