# Minimal Comfort-Centric Footwear Fear of God Taps Ermenegildo Zegna for a Footwear Capsule By Amy Duong | Published 2020-10-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ermenegildo-zegna References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2020/10/fear-of-god-ermenegildo-zegna-exclusive-footwear-collection-release-info) & [zegna](https://www.zegna.com/glink/fear-of-god-collection/?utm_source=hypebeast&utm_medium=ntv&utm_campaign=170820_fearofgod&utm_term=publishers&utm_content=launch_presentedby) Ermenegildo [Zegna](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memorie) works in collaboration with [Fear on God](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/86-lo) on a new collection of unique footwear silhouettes for the season. The two brands are experts in creating elevated minimalistic pieces and infuse that to the modern-focused footwear range. The designs perfectly complement the scarcity of Fear of God pieces and the comfort element that is true to Ermenegildo Zegna. The collection unifies the contributing brands by maintaining both of their design languages. The standout 'Suede Sneaker' model exempifies this as it is made with soft neutral tonal suede contrasted by white laces and a soft rubber sole unit. Additional models in the range include the [lightweight suede loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneaker-loafer), the leather Texan boots, as well as the comfortable black leather slip-ons.
