The Nike Air Fear of God 1 Is Returning in "Oatmeal"

When Jerry Lorenzo‘s Fear of God and Nike first teamed up in 2018, their efforts yielded the Air Fear Of God 1, an impeccable amalgamation of Lorenzo’s signature high-street designs and Nike’s signature performance tech. Now, after releasing in a duo of bold and bright styles — “Frosted Spruce” and “Orange Pulse” — this summer and also being teased in a yellow colorway, the Air Fear Of God 1 is set to return in an “Oatmeal” makeup this fall.

Perfectly in line with Fear of God’s brand ethos, the “Oatmeal” calls upon a tan hue that’s a few shades darker than the past “Light Bone” release. The midsole features a milky, opaque construction, and the only deviations from the earthy palette arrive by way of small white midfoot Swooshes and an icy blue-tinted, double-stacked Zoom Air unit in the heel.

The material construction is left unchanged as well. The collar and midfoot are made of a tightly woven nylon, while a soft suede encompasses the toebox. Cut-out plastic overlays and rope laces add more texture. A zipper towards the heel ensures an easy on-easy off fit. Finally, “06 10 24 25” is printed on the salmon-colored, perforated insole for a touch of hidden detail.

Co-created with Leo Chang — the man responsible for much of Kevin Durant‘s signature Nike Basketball line — the Air Fear Of God 1 taps inspirations ranging from hoops to streetwear, and if the popularity of prior iterations is any barometer, this “Oatmeal” pair will likely be a hot ticket when it releases on November 2 for $350 USD.
