Achievement

Jerry Lorenzo has had a bumper year and it’s his work that marks him as a true standout. His key achievement was the creation of a new silhouette for Nike, called the Air Fear of God 1. It’s rare for Nike to allow designers to stray too far from their formula and even rarer still that they’d allow them to create their own shoe, making what Lorenzo achieved remarkable.

Elsewhere Lorenzo’s star continues to rise, with a starring appearance in NBA 2K20 and a continued presence within and outside of fashion, ensuring that Fear of God is always at the forefront of the culture.
