The collaboration between Fear of God and adidas continues to grow with the debut of the adidas Fear of God Athletics II Basketball “Ash Silver”. The fourth iteration of the silhouette merges technical performance advancements and Jerry Lorenzo’s trademark minimalism.
Showcasing one of the most successful AAU teams in basketball history, Compton Magic, the Fear of God Athletics II Basketball “Ash Silver” campaign lands with video and photography captured at The Magic Lab and at the Earn Your Stripes Tournament. Founded by Etop Udo-Ema and now coached by Justin Williams, Magic Magic had a chance to debut the custom Ash Silver uniforms worn in tandem with the new sneakers. An intergenerational crew wore the looks while on the court and off, furthering the collaborative mission of the project to continue to inspire and uplift future athletes.
Designed with performance and luxury in mind, the II Basketball leans into Fear of God’s duality in sport. It features a tight inner bootie, ventilation with mono-filament fabrics, a stretchy, ultralight Lightstrike midsole and a TPU shank to add to the energy return, while a solid outsole with multi-directional traction was made for the hardwood. Fear of God’s Ash Silver suede upper provides a polished finish while remaining connected to the contemporary label’s architectural aesthetic. Subtle compared to previous colorways, this take on the II Basketball sneaker also feels more versatile than ever, appearing just as suited for the street as it does for the court.
“It’s been a dream come true working with Jerry Lorenzo and Fear of God Athletics,” Etop Udo-Ema said of the project. “We are so grateful to adidas for bringing this dream collaboration to life. This is one for the books and the beginning of something so big.”
A powerful endorsement from one of the faces of the sport in Compton Magic, Etop’s words are just one of many testaments to the cultural relevance of the adidas Fear of God Athletics II Basketball, beyond its technical and performance focus.
