the black colorway might be for performance(mesh), bone for lifestyle(leather). the only athletes i've seen with the bone pair were lebron and tristan and they weren't playing in them. everyone else got black. also it seems like everyone else who isn't a celeb but has connections to get shoes early only have the bone pair

Damn I'm torn between black or bone. Leather looks awesome but the black is fire.

Nike’s first collaborative project with Fear of God founder and creative director Jerry Lorenzo is highlighted by an court-ready basketball shoe, the Nike Air Fear of God 1. During the last few weeks, glimpses of the design — which incorporates a double-height Zoom Air heel unit — came through a preview of Lorenzo’s latest Fear of God offering and then appeared on the feet of NBA stars. The rollout is tactical, all part of Lorenzo’s desire to focus on the emotional element of sport
“It is a shoe that should only be judged by the emotion it gives the kid when he first sees it — however it makes him feel,” says the Los Angeles-based designer. “We live in a day and age when images are leaked left and right, and products are leaked without consideration and emotional attachments. I’m aiming to give a visceral experience whether the kid sees it first on Ben Simmons coming into the arena or worn by his favorite athletes on court.”
Lorenzo wants to tap into a certain element of nostalgia. Not so much about what was worn, but how it was worn. He wants to awaken a spirit he deems dormant, to remind of the power sport once had in defining style.
“In my youth…growing up in the ’80s and finishing high school in the ’90s, contrary to what's happening now, it was our superstar athletes and our pro athletes that were informing the way that we wore our street clothes,” he says. “These athletes, like Agassi and Jordan, were at the top of their game and what they wore didn’t compromise on design or beauty.”
Leo Chang on the Nike Air Fear of God 1
1 - The shaping of the visible Nike Air window might reference the Air Max 180, but it houses a game-changing double stack Zoom heel augmented by internal full-length Zoom. "The sensation is incredible. It's super bouncy," says Chang. "From the metatarsal heads back, it is our performance basketball last."
2 - To hit the right balance of performance and style, the Nike Air Fear of God 1 uses a new last that marries Lorenzo’s favored stance with Nike Basketball’s expertise in athlete-led fit. "We scanned his last and really captured the part that was essential to his form, which is the toe box," says Chang.
3 - The TPU cage is inspired by the Huarache Light. "We wanted a lock-in for containment especially around the heel and mid-foot. The way it's designed creates seamless integration into the cup sole rubber," says Chang.
Working with Leo Chang, Senior Footwear Design Director, Nike Basketball, on the Nike Air Fear of God footwear allowed Lorenzo to balance his aesthetic vision and performance aspiration. Says Lorenzo of Chang, “He’s someone with a phenomenal desire, who understands innovation and performance at a high level. He’s also patient and open to not only a new designer but a new design process.” This meant a lot of patience on both sides, Lorenzo says. “In order to create a product that doesn't compromise style or innovation, you can’t make concessions to process.”
Process is something Lorenzo says came from his athletic background in baseball and basketball. In sport, he found a foundation for how to go about life. The competitiveness that drove relative success on the field has been translated to his work as a designer.
Recently, Lorenzo found that Nike’s 30th anniversary Just Do It campaigns affirmed the value of sport in all facets of life. Led by Colin Kaepernick, the lead spot, Dream Crazy, reminded Lorenzo that “there are people outside of sport who go about their lives through the spirit of sport.”
And that is where he wants his collection to sit — within the soul of the wearer.
“This is for all the kids coming up in small cities with big-city dreams,” Lorenzo concludes. “It’s about what he feels he should have, not what he thinks he should have based on what society's telling him.”

I didn't know these were dropping under Nike Basketball. Thinking Fear of God, I was thinking it would release as a lifestyle model through Nike Sportswear.
They're pushing it as a basketball shoe which is cool. Double Stacked Zoom in the heel.

I was really looking forward to seeing the apparel. That ain't for me dawg.
