The adidas Fear of God Athletics Basketball III made its debut as Jerry Lorenzo appeared courtside in Chicago wearing the newest performance model from his ongoing adidas partnership. The collaboration has sparked constant debate since launch, largely because early designs rolled out slowly. Yet moments like this keep the story moving and suggest the project remains active through 2026.
New images from an event celebrating the Derrick Rose capsule, along with pairs worn by Lorenzo, highlight the 3’s updated direction. The design leans into the line’s sculpted aesthetic, but it adds wavy Three Stripes branding for a subtle shift in personality. It feels familiar, though there’s a clear push toward refinement. That balance has become a quiet signature of Fear of God Athletics.
Grey mesh dominates the upper, sitting over a sculpted midsole framed by a translucent outsole. Small touches — like the padded trapezoid tongue, soft heel foam, and adjustable lace-lock hardware — show how the line continues to borrow from Lorenzo’s lifestyle pieces. The look lands somewhere between performance minimalism and streetwear luxury.
While adidas has not confirmed a release date, the adidas Fear of God Athletics Basketball III is expected to reach the public soon. More launch details should follow as the silhouette closes this chapter in the Athletics series.
